Sony sells more than a million PS4 consoles in debut
The Japanese electronics company announced these figures soon after the PlayStation 4 consoles went on sale. Sony is trying to gain ground on Microsoft, which is releasing its Xbox One console this week.
"PS4 was designed with an unwavering commitment to gamers, and we are thrilled that consumer reaction has been so phenomenal," said Andrew House, president and group chief of Sony Computer Entertainment.
"Sales remain very strong in North America, and we expect continued enthusiasm as we launch the PlayStation 4 in Europe and Latin America on 29 November. We are extremely grateful for the passion of PlayStation fans and thank them for their continued support," House said.
A forecast by the research firm Gartner shows game console sales of hardware and software are likely to grow to US$44bn worldwide this year, up from the US$37bn spent on consoles last year.
