The Choice of an Old Generation
Sony has released itslatest quarterly financial report,which includes the final run of statistics for the industry giant ahead of the launch ofPlayStation 5,which will be hitting the market in November.
PlayStation 4, which launched back in November 2013, has successfully shipped an incredible 113.8 million consoles over the course of its generational lifespan, with 1.5 million black boxes sold within the past three months. Year-on-year, PS4 hardware sales have dropped significantly, but this is an inevitability as the generation winds down in preparation for the PS5’s debut.
Over the course of its continued lifespan, PlayStation 4 remains a solid-selling platform, with every year delivering a steady stream of excellent software enjoyed by players across the globe. While many video game fans are preparing to move into the next generation, PS4 consoles and games will continue to sell for the foreseeable future, further validating the PS4’s status as one of the most successful consoles in video game history.
