Sony's PlayStation 4 has trumped the Xbox 360 to become the best-selling home console of 2013, edging past Microsoft's machine in the last week of the year.

　　Reported by MCV, the PS4 shifted 530,000 units in just over five weeks. It ended the year a couple of thousand sales ahead of the Xbox 360.

　　Nintendo will take comfort in knowing that its 3DS handheld managed to sell more units than even the PS4, however.

　　"Since we unveiled the console, gamers have shown huge interest in the PS4. Our focus now is rebuilding stock levels so those have not been able to get a PS4 can finally experience the next-gen. I'd like to thank the gamers, our retail and publishing partners who played a big part in making this success possible," said PlayStation UK MD Fergal Gara, probably before popping open a bottle of champagne.
