Guess this sets the record for longest consecutive months #1. 23 beats the 22 months xbox 360 had at #1.

What was PS4's longest streak? Also did NPD start after PS2?
PS4's longest streak as #1 overall was 10, in Jan-Oct 2014.

Its only after Switch launched that PS4 became more comfortably dominant against XB1 with win streaks of 13, 11, 11 and current streak of 9 (each interrupted by December where Sony doesn't seem to care as much anymore). In fact out of 7 Decembers they've been on the market together PS4 only won 2 (2015 and 2016), from 2017 onwards PS4 has always seen a sharp drop from Nov to Dec as Sony focuses most of the stock and gives the only discount in November, while xbox still push December a lot.

The months XB1 outsold PS4 are:

Dec 2013, Nov 2014, Dec 2014, April 2015, Oct 2015, July 2016, August 2016, Sep 2016, Oct 2016, Dec 2017, Dec 2018, Dec 2019.

Since Switch launched, PS4 beat Switch in:

May 2017, June 2017, Nov 2017, Feb 2018, March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018, Sept 2018, Oct 2018, Nov 2018.

So PS4 and Switch were very competitive 2017 and 2018 but Switch is on a long win streak now. XB1 has beaten Switch only twice: Nov 2017 and Feb 2018.
