It’s that time of year, when all the big companies release their financial results for Q1, and Sony will be pretty happy with its own, particularly with regards to PlayStation sales.<\/p>\n
According to the report<\/a>, 3 million PlayStation 4 consoles were sold between April and June 2015, which is more than twice as many units as Xbox One and Xbox 360 units combined.<\/p>\n Only 1.4m Xbox consoles were sold by Microsoft during the same period, 53% fewer than PS4, but 27% up on the prior year. It isn’t known how many of those were Xbox Ones.<\/p>\n It’s unclear exactly how many\u00a0PS3s were sold during the same quarter, although the number is said to be down year-on-year, as expected.<\/p>\n As a result, Sony’s success has seen the Japanese company\u00a0increase its full-year sales projections for PS4 from 16m to 16.5m.<\/p>\n Sony also launched a 1TB PS4<\/a> earlier this month, but no official price-drop has been announced for the standard 500GB console.<\/p>\n It seems only appropriate given the recent R800 drop in the Xbox One’s price<\/a>. We wait in anticipation…<\/p>\n And here’s hoping that 1TB PS4 and PS TV bundle<\/a> currently exclusive to the UK eventually makes its way to SA.<\/p>\n South Africa won\u2019t be getting the 1TB PS4 and PS TV Bundle<\/a><\/p>\n Uncharted 4 should eclipse everything that has come before<\/a><\/p>\n
