Sony has managed to sell 70.6 million PS4 consoles worldwide, with the fact that the console is still desired years after its release bound to have some surprised considering the colossal lines often appearing for a certain competitor…
As of December 3rd, the console has managed to make its way into the hands of over 70 million consumers, with more than 617 million games also being sold at both retailers and via digital downloads – PlayStation’s virtual reality headset has also made some headway with its 2 million units sold and over 12 million copies of VR titles sold.
Chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Andrew House gave a statement on these achievements:
“We are delighted that so many people are enjoying the unique entertainment proposition of PlayStation 4 and that an emerging technology like PlayStation VR continues to gain traction.
I cannot thank our fans and partners enough. Their support, since the launch of the very first PlayStation in 1994, has helped to make PlayStation one of the biggest console gaming network in the world.
We will continue to work closely with partners to maintain this momentum and remain steadfast in making PS4 the best place to play.”
on pc ram and gfx card prices have got so expensive they make the ps4 look cheap!
considered getting a ps4 myself at that price.
vgchartz says there’s only 66million sold, sony’s lying again… retards
They forgetting PSVita ughh…
I’ve never been much of a gamer, but the new Soul Calibur VI coming out next year is making me consider getting a PS4.
Big Ivy titties
The switch will outsell it during the holidays, but how many people will actually realize that it will only be because everybody that’s going to buy consoles already has a ps4, lol..
The Switch has a disturbing trend of developers putting half a game on a cartridge and requiring you, the player, to download the rest. That really will piss people off enough to buy the game on a platform that allows you to play immediately.
I personally think this is only happening because developers are rushing out ports because its selling so well. I bet you could get a 30gb game on a 16gb cartridge with enough concessions.
And what platform would that be?
Certainly not piss4 atleast, where even if you buy a retail copy, you’re still forced to install the game to your HD, and more often than not then have to download a massive day one patch at dial up speeds from PSN, which you also pay for.
PS4 outsold Switch 2:1 in November, despite that BS article the internet touted saying that “Switch won Black Friday.”
