Sony has announced the most updated number of sales of its latest console, the PlayStation 4: 50 million units by the current week. In this calculation, all the PS4 models, such as the original version, the slim edition and the latest PS4 Pro comes in.
Launched in November 2013, 40 million handsets had been sold through May 2016, showing great growth this year . There is no reliable data to compare with the biggest competitor on the console of Sony, the Xbox One, since Microsoft has not disclosed their numbers publicly. Some estimates, however, indicate that Caixa walks a little behind: according to NVIDIA, 29 million units of the company console founded by Bill Gates were sold in full, while a calculation by the NPD Group says that the Xbox One and Its issues have sold more than the PlayStation 4 in 2016.
In any case, Microsoft should receive a considerable boost in sales of Xbox One when the edition called Project Scorpio, with support for 4K, is released, possibly in the second quarter of 2017.People can say that the eighth generation of consoles is made up of the PlayStation 4 and two other consoles. By best efforts that Microsoft (Phil Spencer) has done to keep the Xbox One platform competitive, the Sony console now has a global installed base above the sum of its competitors, including also the failed Nintendo Wii U. From November 15, 2013 until December 6, 2016, 50 million units of PlayStation 4 were sold worldwide.
The account includes the new PS4 slim and PS4 Pro. Apparently Sony sold many consoles during the true Black Friday in civilization, perhaps breaking the Xbox One S winning sequence in the US. Until May, the PlayStation 4 platform had sold 40 million consoles, so we have approximately ten million units sold per semester. And yes, the Japanese really expect to sell another 10 million PS4 consoles (slim and Pro) by the end of the 2016 fiscal year, in March 2017. It is not doubt it can.
