The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are selling well. Both consoles are taking over living rooms across the globe and it appears that people are generally happy with the new hardware. While the Xbox One has sold more in the US in December, it is increasingly appearing that the PS4 is dominating in oversea markets.
We have obtained some new info about how well the next-gen consoles are selling overseas, specifically in Belgium and The Netherlands. According to a list sent to press by Game Mania, a popular game retailer in those countries, it looks like Sony is doing very well. Both the PS3 and PS4 take two of the top three spots, while the Nintendo 3DS takes the other.
Here is the list of the top 10 consoles sold for each country:
Belgium
1. PlayStation 3
2. Nintendo 3DS
3. PlayStation 4
4. PlayStation Vita
5. Xbox 360
6. Nintendo Wii
7. Nintendo Wii U
8. PlayStation Portable
9. Nintendo DS

From the looks of it, Sony is having widespread success. The PS3 continues to sell well and the PS4 keeps gaining ground. It is interesting to see that the 3DS is keeping up with next-gen systems, and is completely dominating the handheld market. We needs to remember though, the Xbox One has not released in either Belgium or The Netherlands.
Unfortunately, we do not have exact sales numbers at this time but they are expected to release later today.
