PlayStation 4 Sales Surpass 7 Million Units Worldwide

PlayStation 4 Sales Surpass 7 Million Units Worldwide

Today, Sony announced that as of April 6th, the PlayStation 4 has moved over 7 million units worldwide. This is a figure that shows just how fast gamers are adopting the new-generation of consoles, and the momentum that has been behind Sony’s new direction for a system that is not only easier to develop for, but embraces the indie scene.

As sales for the PS4 have been topping out the charts for the last few months, it is easy to see Sony as the early leader for this console cycle. Thankfully, the PlayStation brand has not only finally launched in its native homeland, Japan, it is now currently available in over 72 different territories throughout the world, something that I am sure has helped expand its install base. In a press release from Sony Computer Entertainment, Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. had this to say about the new figures:

The response from the global gaming community for PS4 has been overwhelming and we are truly humbled that gamers are selecting PS4 as their next generation console of choice. The PS4 journey has just begun, and although we are still facing difficulties keeping up with the strong demand worldwide, we remain steadfast in our commitment to meet the needs of our customers, and surpassing the wildest expectations of gamers by delivering new user experiences that inspire and engage. We look forward to unveiling many of these experiences to our fans in the coming months.
