Recently Sony reported they where finally making some profit after a long time ant it's mostly thanks to their new generation console PlayStation 4. Just last quarter their profit was up by 757 percent.
No official results were given on PlayStation 4 sale results back then but now during Gamescom Sony has announce that they have reached 10 million sold devices in just nine months. Great results for Sony as the company isn't doing that well in other areas. Nice to see that there is at least one department that's kicking ass.
Console wars are always an interesting topic, lots of people fallow these numbers regardless do they have a next generation console or not. During the previous console wars Xbox 360 was the first to reach the number of 10 million sold and Microsoft beat Sony and went to become the winner in that console war. Wander will 10 million milestone be the key this time, Sony definitely hopes it will.
SCE CEO Andrew House said: "The responses we have received for the PS4 system's unique gameplay experiences powered by the network, along with its vast game portfolio has been phenomenal, and I am absolutely delighted that PS4 was able to reach this commemorative milestone in less than 9 months. We're so grateful for the enormous support from PlayStation gamers worldwide, and we look forward to bringing even more exciting content and services in the months ahead."
He wasn't wrong people that bought the PlayStation 4 are very happy with the gaming console so far. Sure things are not perfect, there will always be some issues and the games that use the power of the new console haven't arrived yet, but the general experience is great.
Console wars have just started, only nine months has passed and already so many developments. Remember these next generation consoles will be on the market for years so it will definitely be interesting to see how things continue to develop.
