PS4 Sales Surpass 5.3 Million Units!

Briefly: Sony has just revealed that, preceding the PS4’s launch in Japan on February 22nd, the console has over 5.3 million units.

That’s a lot of freaking consoles, and they’re likely to sell a boatload more in Japan next week.

“I am thrilled that so many customers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as the best place to play throughout and beyond the holiday season,” said Andrew House, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. “We are delighted that according to the NPD Group’s latest data, PS4 was January’s top-selling console in the United States. The PS4 system’s momentum just keeps growing stronger, and we are extremely grateful for the continued passion and support of PlayStation fans. February 22 sees the launch of PS4 in Japan, and I’m looking forward to Japanese fans sharing the excitement of the deep social capabilities and entertainment experiences only possible on PS4.”

The company has also released their first advertisement for Playstation Plus, which is required for online gaming on the PS4, and is an absolutely worthwhile service that nets you free games and steep discounts every single month. Take a look at the ad below, and let us know if you’ve picked up a unit yet.
