The NPD Group’s report for U.S. sport gross sales in October included an fascinating nugget concerning the PlayStation 4‘s success. The system has had the third-best first six years for any U.S. console, trailing solely the PlayStation 2 and Wii.
The PS4 launched on November 15, 2013. It turned a quick hit, and powerful first-party exclusives like Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and God of War have saved the machine common. All over the world, Sony has offered over 102.eight million PlayStation Four consoles thus far.
For its first six years within the U.S., the PS4 is barely behind the PS2 and Wii. The PS2 is the best-selling system of all time, transferring over 155 million machines. The PS4 has offered extra consoles around the globe than the Wii already did in its lifetime (Nintendo offered about 101.63 million Wiis).
Gross sales for the PS4 are slowing down, although. This yr has not been as flush with exclusives as 2018, and Sony is preparing for the launch of PlayStation 5 later subsequent yr.
