PS4 hits the 7 million marker
Sony came up with a selling machine literally with the Play Station 4. The new Japanese console has been on a steady climb regarding sales in the last month. Recently, Sonny announced the Play Station 4 had surpassed the 7 million marker.
The Japanese electronics manufacturer can say without a doubt they have “struck oil” with the Play Station 4. Since it's launch in November last year, the console managed to be consistent in sales. It also got a boost around the Christmas holidays. Excepting that span, the console performed better than expected.
The figures regarding the last 30 days are putting smiles on some faces at Sony HQ. The PS4 managed to ship 1 million consoles in the last month, so that makes about 33.000 per day. The number of consoles sold world wide surpassed the 7 million marker and that equals to almost 3 billion dollars in revenue for Sony. The figure is not bad considering the fact that PS4 is up for sale for less than half of year.
The PS4 is available in 72 countries right now and Sony hopes to increase the number of markets by the end of the year. Its price has remained constant since its launch last year at 399 US dollars. The console is already knocking at the “top 20” best selling consoles ever.
