If you compare the amount of time the consoles have been on the market, Xbox One and PS4 are massively outselling their last-gen counterparts.

According to NPD Group, 21 months after launch, PS4 and Xbox One sales are "close to" 50% ahead of where PS3 and Xbox 360 sales were at the same time in their lifespan. Overall, game hardware sales rose 2% from June to July.

“Xbox One and Xbox Live continued to see strong sales and engagement in July, with Xbox One sales in the U.S. up 44 percent over July 2014 and active global Xbox Live users (Xbox One and Xbox 360) up 22 percent," a Microsoft spokesperson told IGN.

Additionally, NPD has shared that LEGO: Jurassic World was the best-selling game in July.
