In a short announcement, Sony has announced that more than 20.2 million PlayStation 4 consoles have been sold as of March 1, 2015. After 15 months on the market, the PS4 is already a quarter of the way towards matching the PS3’s lifetime sales total of more than 80 million consoles.
“We are so grateful for the enormous support from PlayStation fans worldwide, and we are truly humbled that gamers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as the best place to play,” said Andrew House, the President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver unique and interactive entertainment experiences powered by the network and the PS4 system’s deep social capabilities.”
The PS4’s sales milestone also puts it well ahead of this generation’s other consoles. Microsoft hasn’t announced hard sales numbers in nearly a year, and current estimates place the Xbox One’s userbase in the vicinity of ten million consoles sold. Nintendo is most likely in third place in the eighth generation horse race as the consolemaker confirmed last month that they’ve sold 9.2 million Wii U consoles.
