Sony PlayStation 4 has not even been launched in Japan yet, and already the console has achieved more than what Sony was expecting of it.
As of February 8th, Sony has shipped 5.3 million PS4 units around the world. The company was aiming for 5 million units before the end of this fiscal and it managed to achieve that target with three weeks still in hand.
It appears as if Sony has managed to widen the gap between its next gen console and its closest competitor from Microsoft. Reports about PS4 being the best selling console in the US in the month of January have been also making rounds. Although the Xbox One has got titles like Titanfall in its arsenal, we’re assuming the early bad PR about weaker hardware, as well as certain games running on a higher native resolution on the PS4 compared to One(1080p vs. 720p), have given an edge to the PS4. With the launch in Japan this month, we’re expecting the rift to widen even further.
