PlayStation 4 Passes 7 Million Sales
Sony has announced that global sales of the PlayStation 4 have passed 7 million. The landmark figure was achieved on 6th April.
Software sales continue to rocket as well, with 20.5 million game sales from both retail and digital as of 13th April. That roughly translates just under three games per console, or two and Ground Zeroes.
Sony were typically excited, with Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. saying: “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.”
The PlayStation 4 hit the 6 million mark at the start of March.
There’s still no word on the number of Xbox Ones sold, other than the 3.9 million shipped to retail in 2013.

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!
