PS4 Sales Surpass 7 Million Globally!

Briefly: Sony last gave us an update on the PS4’s cumulative all the way back in February, when the console had surpassed 5.3 million units just before the device’s Japanese launch.

Today, the company revealed the latest numbers with the following blog post:

Hi guys! I’ve got a quick update to share with you. Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. just announced that PS4 has cumulatively sold through more than 7.0 million units globally as of April 6th, 2014. PS4 software sales are another bright spot, with more than 20.5 million copies sold at retail and PlayStation Store worldwide as of April 13th, 2014.

 

On behalf of the entire global team at PlayStation, I want to thank you for your unprecedented support and for making PS4 your next-generation console of choice. We couldn’t have done this without you! And please keep the feedback coming: we are listening.

 

On that note, we’ll have some great new details to share with you regarding our upcoming PS4 system software update very soon. Stay tuned!

That’s a lot of units.

Have you picked up a system yet? Are you planning on it? Aside from release night (which is when I picked up mine), I’ve actually never seen a PS4 on a shore shelf!

Sony has also previewed the main new feature in the console’s next firmware update, which actually looks really cool if you’re into sharing stuff. Check it out below.
