PS4 Sells over 4 Million Worldwide
Yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment President Andrew House announced that more than 4.2 million PS4s have been sold worldwide.
The figure, correct as of December 28, puts sales of the Playstation 4 ahead of Xbox One, which Microsoft earlier this week announced had sold 3 million in 2013.
It puts Sony on track to meet their target of 5 million units sold by March.
Alongside the hardware figures, Sony also announced that over 9.7 million pieces of PS4 software had been sold over the holiday season, and both retail and digitally.
Sales figures for the new consoles remain pretty pointless at the moment however, with sales determined by how quickly stores can be restocked.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
