Sony announces PlayStation 4 sales reached 4.2 million by end of 2013
It's a dramatic doubling of the figure from December 1, 2013, meaning the company sold another 2.1 million units across the next 27 days of the month. In addition, the company estimates PS4 software sales through retail and digital channels are up to 9.7 million worldwide, while PS Plus subscriptions increased by more than 90 percent between the PS4 launch in North America and the end of the year - it's worth noting the PS4 comes with at least a 30-day Plus subscription in some regions, including the US and Canada.
Just ahead of the PS4's launch in North America, SCEA President and CEO Jack Tretton projected 3 million worldwide sales by the end of the year. We now know the console beat that figure by some way, and the company's next aim of 5 million sales by the end of March looks a cert, given the PS4 is still to launch in Japan next month - the system is currently available in 53 markets worldwide.
The news comes the day after Microsoft announced Xbox One sales passed the 3 million mark by the close of 2013 across 13 markets worldwide.

Nice, that's a lot! A lot of my buddies are buying this just because it's $100 cheaper - If MS made the Xbox One $100 cheaper I'm sure it would have a crazy amount of sales too!

KevvoooxDARKxN1NJAjstrout626TheUnholy1994yeah but xbox one sales aren't crazy out there anymore like the chart that got posted like a week ago with reports that the xbone only sold 300k in the week of christmas compared to Sonys 650k i agree that they will both equal out but those numbers surprise me because of the availability of the xbone compared to ps4daRealRush Over a million more than the Xbox One, that is insane!!
Only sold more because it was released before xbone and is available in way more countries. That's the only reason. Really isn't that impressive if you compare using those facts.
Except te xbone sold more consoles in a day than the ps4
hey ******* the ps4 only launched in NA first day. Xbone was world wide.
Oh my MS fanboys... You can't argue with the stupid.

PawnStarsLuckyOtter PS4 was released in 32 countries, a week before the Xbox One, and is hundred dollars cheaper... Xbox One was released in 13 countries and Japan is not one of those. Neither company though has supplied the demand and constantly out of stock. PS4 should still be in the lead but you never know.
PS4 is still in the lead and I have no problem walking into any store and finding numerous Xbox Ones, I have yet to see a store that has a PS4 just sitting there
well that could also be because Sony is kind of struggling to meet the high consumer demand for the PS4

Congrats to Sony. Now if only the Xone was in as many countries the race might be closer, but at least their both doing well. Cause we don't want a monopoly in the (console) gaming industry.

Kex 1.2 million more than Xbox lol. I personally thought Xbox one would win.
It might even out, however I still would prefer the PS4. Just can't afford it
