With the book officially closed on 2014, Sony has revealed that they have sold more than 18.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles across the world since the system launched in November 2014. According to Sony, this officially makes the PS4 the fastest-selling system in PlayStation history.
In addition to nearly 19 million consoles, Sony also announced that more than 81.8 million PS4 games have been sold since the system launched. This number includes digital downloads as well as retail releases. For those who love the “attach rate” statistic, that means that every PS4 owner has purchased approximately 4.42 games.
“We are absolutely delighted that so many customers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as their console of choice throughout this holiday season,” said Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. “We will continue to reinforce and deliver additional value on PS4 as the best place to play, by bringing even more exciting content and by enriching our wide array of service offerings.”
Finally, Sony announced that their PlayStation Plus service currently has 10.9 million subscribers. That likely means that they’ve distributed a lot of free games through the service’s “Instant Game Collection.”
