Tokyo: Japanese consumer electronics giant Sony has sold over 110 million units of PlayStation 4 since the launch of the fourth-generation gaming console. This includes all available models, including the PS4 Pro.
The company also revealed that sales of PlayStation 4 from January to March 31 this year stood at 1.5 million units.
The PlayStation 4 is now the fourth best-selling console ever, behind the Game Boy/Game Boy Color, which sold 118.69 million units.
It remains to be seen if the PlayStation 4 will overtake Nintendo’s handheld gaming device — Nintendo DS (154.02 million) and PlayStation 2 (155 million).
With the PlayStation 5 around the corner, it is now unlikely that the current 4 will break any records.
Sony is expected to launch its PlayStation 5 soon and unveiled the new wireless game controller for the same, calling it ‘DualSense’ to reflect its new capabilities.
The controller features an all-new colour theme and has some added functionalities, both inside and outside.
There is also an integrated microphone, a first for Sony’s controllers, along with a USB-C port and an overhauled design.
Sony says the new button will operate in the same way but will have more functions that it will reveal in the future.
