Sony is happy to report that the PlayStation 4 remains the leader of the next-gen consoles race in the United States after the reveal of the NPD Group report for January 2014, despite the fact that the device is still constrained when it comes to supply.

Guy Longworth, a representative of the company, is quoted by VG247 as saying that, “Demand for PlayStation 4 remains incredibly strong as it was No. 1 in sales for next-gen consoles in January, nearly doubling the nearest next-gen competitor, and remains the cumulative leader, according to today’s NPD report.”

Sony has not offered actual sales numbers for the month of January in the United States, but the company has previously revealed that it has moved 4.2 million devices to players before the end of 2013.

The PlayStation 4 is set to be launched on the Japanese market on February 22.
