Sony PS Mainframe global breakthrough 18.5 million, sales figures a little comfort

According to Reuters, Sony said January 6 that as of January 4, its PS4 game host global sales exceeded 18.5 million, compared to the end of October, 13.5 million growth of 5 million units, showing the strong demand for holiday shopping season. The PS4 business is a bright spot for Sony, who is recovering from a massive cyber attack.

Andrew House, Sony's Computer entertainment chief, said last month that PS4 's sales in the European holiday season were so strong that they were trying to meet market demand. Andrew Hause PS4 's latest sales figures are a big consolation for Sony, which is coping with weak sales of smartphones and televisions, and is likely to suffer a 5th net loss year in 6 years.

PS4 was listed in the US, Western Europe and Latin America at the end of last year. Almost at the same time, Microsoft has also released its Xbox One. Microsoft offered a big discount to Xbox One in the US market this November to boost sales.
