Huge milestone for the PS4 and Sony Interactive Entertainment as we just had a pretty big PlayStation Experience from them a few days ago. The Black Friday week was the best period ever for the console as well as mentioned by Takashi Mochizuki.
Update: Here’s what Andrew House, President and Global CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, had to say about the milestone:
“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 such as 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.”
Software sales are now at 369.6 million copies sold to customers not including any add on content.
