Number of sold ps4 April. Press release

Sony at CES 2019 announced the sale of more than 91.6 million PlayStation consoles 4 as of December 31, 2018. The company noted that during the pre-Christmas high season, 5.6 million PS4 units and 50.7 million games for the console were sold (in total, more than 876 million copies of games for the latter were sold worldwide during the entire time). Sony consoles). At the same time, it was announced that the latest PlayStation exclusive blockbuster was sold out by more than 9 million players. By the way, "only" 86.1 million consoles of this family, which entered the market more than 5 years ago, were sold.

All this suggests that Sony remains the undisputed leader in the current generation of consoles. Microsoft, in order not to look too faded against the backdrop of a Japanese competitor, has ceased to provide reliable information on console sales. Xbox One back in 2015. She has since replaced sales numbers with relative numbers that allow the company to show growth without explaining exactly how many people have opted for Xbox One or use its services.

“We continue to view engagement as a key measure of success and no longer report overall console sales. a Microsoft spokesperson told Variety in early 2018. - During our Fiscal 2018 Q3 report, we announced that the gaming division's revenue grew 18% year-on-year, driven by a 24% increase in sales of Xbox software and services, and the number of Xbox Live active users increased by 1 % compared to the same period last year, up to 59 million people. We continue to see a significant increase in the amount of time the average user spends on Xbox Live and we are committed to delivering unprecedented new experiences for players on Xbox One, Windows 10 and mobile.".

Unlike Microsoft, Sony executives are happy to be direct about the size of the PlayStation business. The last concrete information we were told about Xbox One sales was in 2016, when it was said during the EA reporting conference that 19.1 million Xbox One systems had been sold to that point. All in all, it's extremely unlikely that Microsoft will be able to match the PS4's sales figures this generation.

Nintendo, for its part, has sold 22.86 million Switch hybrid consoles so far, an impressive number for a system that has been on the market for less than two years. However, Sony will already be promoting the PlayStation 5 by the time the Switch begins to catch up with the PS4 in terms of sales. By the way, 91.6 million PS4 systems sold suggests that the console has every chance of surpassing the success of the Nintendo Wii, which was a huge success and sold 101.63 million copies.
