Sony has sold over two million Playstation 4 worldwide

The excitement around the Japanese gaming console Playstation 4 still does not subside. On November 29, the prefix was especially actively bought in Germany, Great Britain and France, which we told you about in our recent material. Today, Sony shared the official figures for global sales of its console. By the way, in the UK PS4 generally set a kind of record.

According to data that today came from official sources, more than 2,100,000 Playstation 4 consoles have been sold in 32 countries around the world, including Russia. In the United States and Canada, about 1,400,000 consoles have been sold, and in European countries and Australia the remaining 700,000.

"It was the largest and most successful launch of a new console in the history of the Playstation," said Andrew House, president of Sony Computer Entertainment, in his address.

The Playstation 4 also became the fastest selling console in UK history. Prior to this record belonged to the Playstation Portable (PSP), which during its launch in 2005, was sold in the amount of 185,000 consoles. It so happened that the UK is the first European market in importance for Sony, so success in this region is very important for the company.

Sony in the first 48 hours managed to sell over 250,000 of its consoles to residents of the united kingdom. According to estimates by the agency MCV, PS4 sales in the country reached 87 million pounds sterling only in this short time period. The management of the Japanese company has once again strengthened its confidence that they will be able to fully implement 5 million PS4 consoles by the end of the current fiscal year, that is, until the end of March 2014.

Let me remind you that Microsoft managed to implement in the UK only 150,000 of its Xbox One consoles for the same period of time, which the management of the Redmond company was very happy about. This figure is about two times higher than the sales figures for the same period of their previous Xbox 360 console. The Xbox One in this region went on sale a week earlier than the PS4.

Now in the whole of Europe, as well as in our country, there is an acute shortage to the Sony console. The management of the Japanese company promises to deliver a new batch of Playstation 4 consoles to the warehouses of their European resellers before Christmas, so that those who did not have time to buy a PS4 will have to wait until mid-late December.

We can only congratulate Sony with a really great launch of a new product on the world market.
