Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. has announced that the PlayStation 4 has sold more than 30.2 million units as of 22nd November 2015. With this week’s Black Friday sales and the Holiday season coming up, it will be interesting to see how this figure jumps in the New Year.

The models, codenamed CUH-1215A and CUH-1215B, will sport the same design as the current model but will include updated components. The CUH-1215B model will also come with a 1 TB Hard Drive.

Sony has announced the latest PS4 sales figures, which has surpassed 18.5 million units since launch, making the PS4 the fastest selling PlayStation hardware. A massive 4.1 million units were sold over the 2014 Holiday Period and New Years.
The latest figures from Sony reveal that the PS4 has sold over 10 million units worldwide since launch last November, but it has now come to light that the UK alone had sold over 1 million units. This means the UK counts for 10% of the PS4 market, making it the second quickest console to reach the one million mark.
It’s been a while since Sony revealed sales figures for the PS4, with the last update coming in April 2014. At Gamescom last night, Sony revealed that the PS4 has now sold in excess of 10 million units worldwide, with more than 30 million PS4 games sold since launch – less than nine months ago. The PS4’s journey is just beginning, and there are still lots of amazing games coming later this year, which is sure to give the PS4 a further boost.
The removal of the Kinect from Xbox One has prompted a big increase in sales for the Xbox One, but it’s still struggling to catch up to the PS4. According to new numbers from NPD, Sony’s is the top-selling U.S. next-gen console for June, which marks the sixth month in a row it has collected that honor. Despite the price of the Xbox One dropping by $100, Microsoft is still having trouble beating PS4 sales.
A promotional video from Sony, geared towards third-party manufacturers, has revealed that the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita has collectively sold more than 100 million units to date. At last count, the PS4 has sold around 7 million units since it launched last November, while the PS3 has sold more than 80 million units.

The PS4 is continuing to sell well across the world, with the latest figures from Sony revealing that 7 million units have been sold globally as of April 6th 2014. In terms of software, more than 20.5 million PS4 games have some at retail and on the PlayStation Store as of April 13th 2014.
