Sony first launched PlayStation back in 1994. A device
which connected with TV gave a new gaming experience. It was a device with DVD
option and 2 remotes. PS got a very good response and it sold 102 million consoles.
In 1999, Sony launched PlayStation 2 which completely
changed the dynamics of gaming. Better games, better graphics and new
technology lead to become all-time best selling gaming device with over 155
million consoles sold. PlayStation 3 was launched in 2006 but couldn’t beat the
sales volume of PlayStation 2 and its all time sales were nearly 84 million
consoles.
Now even after 24 years of PlayStation launch, PlayStation
4 is gaining immense popularity not only in teens but also in adults. Still
gamers love spending their time playing their favourite games. PlayStation 4
has HD graphics which gives a real time experience. Apart from this, now PS has
wireless remote controls which allows users to play according to their comfort
level.
Despite presence of
competitors like X-Box & Nintendo, PS4 recorded $2.1
Billion profit which is 27% increase in Sony’s gaming revenue. Its total
sales were recorded at $4.9 Billion. Till date, Sony has sold over 86
million consoles and its games God Of War sold 3 million copies in its
first 3 days while another game Spider-man sold 3.3 million copies in 3
days.
