PlayStation 4 Reached 2.1 Million Sales By December 1st

Sony and analysts were in agreement just before the PS4 launched that 3 million console sales were possible before 2013 came to an end. And after just over two weeks on sale, that sales prediction is looking very achievable.

After managing to sell eleven PS4 consoles every second on launch day in North America, Sony has announced that between launch day (November 15) and December 1st, 2.1 million PS4 consoles had been sold. That’s an average of 91 PS4 being purchased every minute.
Those sales are sure to remain strong right up until the end of December 24, but another million over the next three weeks seems pretty easy to achieve if you consider the console has only been on sale for a little over two weeks and is now available in 32 countries.
Of course, a lot will depend on Sony continuing to get the PS4 shipped out to retail, but if they predicted 3 million sales before launch, then it makes sense that they ensured at least 3 million came off the production line this year.

So what about 2014? Sony already has a price advantage over its main competition the Xbox One, but with the launch soon becoming a distant memory, the focus will be on releasing games everyone wants to play. I’d also suggest running the PlayStation Network as smoothly as possible and without anymore security or connectivity issues is also going to be a top priority for Sony next year.
