As we reflect on an amazing year, we want to thank fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top selling console in December and in 2015. PS4 also had the strongest third-party software sales in 2015 in the U.S., according to NPD. The momentum and enthusiasm for the platform continued throughout the year, resulting in cumulative sales of more than 35.9 million since the launch of PS4. During the holiday season alone, more than 5.7 million PS4s and 35 million PS4 games were sold through to consumers worldwide. We look forward to another great year and bringing an extensive portfolio of games from our publisher partners and SCE Worldwide Studios to fans in 2016. https://venturebeat.com/2016/02/11/january-2016-npd-xbox-one-ps4/ The PlayStation 4 outsold the Xbox One and Wii U in January, according to Sony. “Thanks to our fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top-selling platform and software sales leader in January, according to NPD,” a Sony spokesperson said in a statement provided to GamesBeat. “PS4 also saw impressive year-over-year growth in both hardware and software sales. We appreciate the support and will continue to deliver on our promise to bring the best entertainment experiences to gamers.” https://venturebeat.com/2016/03/10/february-2016-npd/ Here’s Sony’s statement: “We would like to thank our fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top-selling hardware platform and the software sales leader in February, according to NPD. We continued to see strong year-over-year sales growth for PS4 hardware and software and are truly humbled by the support and enthusiasm from gamers.” https://venturebeat.com/2016/04/14/march-2016-npd-division-zelda/ “Thank you to our fans and partners for making PlayStation 4 the top-selling console and software sales leader for the month of March, as well as the number-one console for fans of The Division, according to NPD. We are truly humbled by the success and look forward to delivering more amazing gaming experiences throughout 2016, including the launch of PlayStation VR this October.” https://venturebeat.com/2016/07/21/june-2016-npd-overwatch-still-no-1-during-summer-drought/ The PlayStation 4 was the top-selling console of June, according to Sony. The company has come in at No. 1 every month since October 2015. A Sony spokesperson confirmed the news with GameSpot, but they didn’t offer up a comment or give out exact sales numbers. However, Sony did confirm earlier this week that worldwide PS4 sales are now over 50 million, thanks to PS4 Pro and the biggest Black Friday week in PlayStation history. Sony has revealed that PlayStation 4 was the #1 selling system of January 2017 in the United States, beating Xbox One for a third straight month, according to data from the NPD. In a statement to GameSpot, Sony added that four of the five best-selling games during the month were for PS4. The NPD should reveal the top 10 titles of January next week, where Resident Evil 7 is likely to finish near the top. Sony seems to have gone quiet once Nintendo started kicking its ass this year, But then again Sony never talks about being #1. Only did the PS4 starting in Jan 2014 |
I remembered that they used to issue statements regularly in the ps4’s first couple years. I was referencing more recent times. And speaking of which, if what you listed includes every statement, then since April 2016, Sony has issued 2 statements (since that 11/2016 source wasn’t an official statement) out of 19 months. And it hasn’t been just since the Switch released; they got quieter starting 4/2016.
