Posted By | On 07th, Dec. 2016

Despite Microsoft making a comeback of sorts in the past couple of months with Xbox One sales, Sony is still enjoying strong sales numbers for the PlayStation 4. It announced recently that the PS4 sold 50 million units worldwide as of December 6th. This figure indicates units sold through and includes the PS4 Pro.

As expected, Black Friday was the most successful week in the company’s history for the brand. Overall PS4 game sales stand at 369.6 million units sold through retail and via the PlayStation Store as of December 4th.

Sony Interactive Entertainment president and global CEO Andrew House stated that, “We’re truly delighted that the PS4 community continues to flourish since launch three years ago. With tremendous support from our fans and partners across the globe, this year we were able to deliver an unprecedented lineup of hardware, including the new slimmer PS4, PS4 Pro, and PlayStation VR.

“We will continue to provide the best gaming experiences available through our ground-breaking software lineup and network services, as we focus on accelerating our business and expanding the PS4 ecosystem.”
