Sony has announced new sales figures for PlayStation 4 that make for remarkable reading. According to the announcement made yesterday, the console has already sold six million units since it was launched in November. The worldwide launch from last year was complimented by last month's launch in Japan, which further bolstered the console's already impressive numbers.
Console sales have been complemented by software purchases. Over 13.7 million games have been picked up so far, with Killzone: Shadow Fall (which was included in many bundles) selling 2.1 million copies. The platform also boasts more than 30 different titles.
Other stats and facts revealed by Sony include the news that 90% of gamers are venturing online with their console, which means 3.6 million live broadcasts, 56 million spectate sessions through Twitch and Ustream, and 100 million shares captured on Facebook and Twitter.
"I am absolutely delighted that PS4 is off to such a great start in Japan," said Sony's Andrew House. "The responses we have received for the PS4 system's integrated social capabilities have been phenomenal, and I couldn't be more thrilled that gamers are utilising these unique features to engage, share, play and connect with users around the world. SCE will continue to expand the world of PlayStation by growing its library of breakthrough games and bringing more innovative features and services only possible on PS4."
