PS4 system sales reached 4.2 million as of December 28, 2013, Sony Computer Entertainment has announced.
This represents a significant 1.2 million sales advantage over the Xbox One during the same time frame.
“The momentum of the PS4 system keeps getting stronger and we couldn’t be more thrilled gamers worldwide are enjoying the incredibly immersive gaming experiences along with deep social capabilities and entertainment provided by our network,” said Andrew House, president and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
“After a remarkable launch, we look forward to bringing even more exciting content and continuing to explore the power of the PS4 system by adding new features and services, including PlayStation Now, in 2014.”
Sony also notes that PS4 software sales stand at 9.7 million copies across retail stores worldwide and through digital downloads on PlayStation Store. Some of the best-selling titles include Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed 4, Battlefield 4, FIFA 14 and Killzone: Shadow Fall.
Furthermore, global PS Plus subscriptions have increased by more than 90 per cent since the PS4 launch.
It’s worth remembering that Xbox One is only available in 13 countries, whereas Sony has managed to roll out the PS4 in 53 countries. That said, credit must go to Sony for managing a new console launch at such a massive scale.
