Lately it may seem that all the focus is solely on the Nintendo Switch and its ability to continually sell out. This isn’t the only console that seems to be doing well. In an interview with Time, the Sony global development boss Shawn Layden revealed that the PS4 and the PS4 Pro are both doing very well. For every five PlayStation 4s Sony sells, one is a PlayStation 4 Pro.

‘It is way ahead of our expectations,’ adds Sony global sales chief Jim Ryan. ‘As with PSVR, and I suppose in forecasting these things we haven’t done a very good job, the product is in desperately short supply. So that’s one-in-five under severe constraint.’

That is pretty gosh darn good, Sony. Especially so when you consider the £110 premium the PS4 Pro has on the standard PS4 console here in good ol’ Blighty, which currently retails for £229.

 Not bad going at all that, Sony.
