Forums - Sony - Thanks to You, PlayStation 4 Just Made History

It’s been a historic first month for PlayStation 4 and the feedback we’re receiving from PlayStation fans around the world has been nothing short of amazing.

It’s now clear that the launch of PS4 is one for the record books. This afternoon we learned from market research firm NPD Group that PS4 was the top-selling console for November and PlayStation was #1 in sales overall for home consoles. This news comes on the heels of yesterday’s confirmation that the PS4 launch is the biggest ever in the history of game consoles. Ever! And it’s all thanks to you.

We’re also seeing gamers embrace the social capabilities of PS4 at a record pace. Earlier this week, we announced that hundreds of thousands of gamers are using the PS4’s integrated streaming capabilities. Nearly 800,000 gameplay broadcasts and more than 7.1 million spectate sessions have streamed through Twitch and Ustream, totaling more than 20 million minutes of live gameplay.

We’re extremely proud to have such a passionate community and are grateful for your support. Thanks for an unforgettable PS4 launch and for making 2013 such a historic year for gaming. We look forward to sharing exciting PS4 news in the near future.

Congrats!



Well it was a given seeing how its cheaper.
People want the cheaper console.
Cheaper = win!



Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?

The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.

The ONLY next gen console to do so. 

I really can't take credit for the successful launch, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Congrats to Sony.

My PS4 actually came in the mail today along with KZ and NFS Rivals, so that was lucky. First impressions so far are fairly positive. PSN store is still slow as all hell for me though.

Price is pretty much a non issue at this point. After the first of the year you might have a point. PS4 is the better console period and that's why its winning.

Something's going on with the store right now. They still have bugs to work out. But it's much much faster than the old store.



In this case the cheaper one is also the better one when it comes to hardware and software(1st party)



I helped (thanks to ethomaz, glad you got yours too man!)! lol :P

GO PS4!! Well deserved Sony.
