Sony's PS4 (PlayStation) has reached 6 million sales since it was launched in North America Nov. 15, 2013.
Rewind to two weeks ago, Sony announced that 5.3 million units had been sold all over the world. Now, just weeks after its Feb. 22 release in Japan, sales have broken the 6 million mark.
"It's truly humbling to see the rate at which gamers across the globe are choosing PS4 as their next gen console of choice," Vice President of Marketing John Koller said in a blog entry. "Even more exciting is what happens when gamers power up their PS4s. In the United States, more than 90 percent of PS4s are online, enabling gamers to connect, compete and share their greatness with friends and fellow gamers.
Ustream and Twitch video streaming platforms enjoy a service boost as well with nearly 3.6 million live broadcasts shared through PS4.
"In fact," Koller added, "since January 1st, PS4 gamers account for 20 percent of daily broadcasters on Twitch. PS4 owners are also embracing the Share button on the DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller, with more than 100 million shares captured as fans show friends their latest achievements on Facebook and Twitter."
