Sony Corp., after replenishing its inventory of PlayStation 4 video-game consoles, retook the lead in U.S. retail sales from Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox One in January as the two vied for industry dominance.

PlayStation 4 sales were almost double those of its nearest next-generation competitor, Tokyo-based Sony said yesterday in an e-mailed statement, citing NPD Group Inc. Combined sales of the PS4 and its predecessor, the PlayStation 3, surpassed all other platforms in January, Sony also said.
