PS4 Sales Nearing 36 Million After Adding 5.7 Million This Holiday
The PlayStation 4 continues to soar.

It's not just Microsoft that enjoyed a record-breaking holiday season. Sony on Tuesday announced that it sold more than 5.7 million PlayStation 4 systems during the holiday season, bringing the platforms' new sales tally to 35.9 million units globally as of January 3, 2016. This is up from 30.2 million at the end of November.
The holiday season is defined by Sony as November 22, 2015 through January 2, 2016 for North America, Latin America, and Europe. In Japan and Asia, it's November 23, 2015 through January 3, 2016.


PS4 game sales were also strong during the holiday season, with more than 35 million copies sold at brick-and-mortar stores and through the PlayStation Store. Sales numbers for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games were not divulged, nor did Sony name a top-selling PS4 holiday game.


In December, PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida said the PS4 is getting an "unprecedented rush" of big games in 2016. "It's the year PS4 users, and those who are on the fence on whether to buy it will absolutely think, 'It's good to have a PS4.' Please look forward to it," he said at the time.

For its part, Microsoft is also claiming that 2016 will be a huge year for Xbox games. Microsoft has not announced any new Xbox One sales numbers (and doesn't plan to), while executive Phil Spencer previously said Sony's lead is so large that Microsoft may never be able to catch up.

How many of you guys have the PS4 Gold Wireless Headset?

I just got it for christmas and love mine. If you have Rainbow 6 and dont have a really good surround sound system i highly recommend the set.

 

[seandon23]

Yeah same headset I have too and I love it. Got it for a good price over a year ago and haven't had problems with it

 

[9th Wonder]

Got the ps gold headset for like 20 bucks on a target jig a year or two ago, I love mine as well

Not sure if this has been posted but there's new free FF IV avatars and a free theme in the PSN store 

Batman Arkham Knight avatars are free too.

And it's worth noting that the avatars are for FF XIV, not IV.

I was ready to go get Sabin as my avatar too.

...but Sabin is from Final Fantasy VI, not IV

I'll have to have a look. If they dont have this guy, I dont know that I want one.

I hope PSNow dies.

 

[iheartboost]

I hope PSNow dies.

Why?

 

[danikerhino]

Why?

Because I want my PS4 to support my old games that I already purchased.

 

[alleyzonjay]

I hope PSNow dies.

Why?

they say that now but once the library gets beefed up and it has that Netflix type pricing (does it already?) minds will change.

Come to Xbox, we got that. No silly man charging you to play games you already own.

I hear ya. I got these cassettes here, waiting to get these songs I purchased 19 years ago on to my PC.

He must own a lot of games

 

[alleyzonjay]

i dont get the BC thing. if you have 360 games you probbaly still have the system.

i dont wanna play a game from last gen, i rather play some PS1 classics.

can Microsofts BC go as far back as the original xbox?

maybe my opinion is different because i still have my PS3 in the livingroom.

 

[alleyzonjay]

It was $99.99 for a year last time I saw.

thats not bad at all compared to the individual fee per game they wanted to charge in the beginning, that like $8.50/month..

 

[Fozz]

I just got it for christmas and love mine. If you have Rainbow 6 and dont have a really good surround sound system i highly recommend the set.

Yup, this is the only way I can play games or watch movies without waking up the baby lol.

But it does get uncomfortable after a while.

 

[danikerhino]

I hear ya. I got these cassettes here, waiting to get these songs I purchased 19 years ago on to my PC.

Well I'd understand if they were changing the media format, but it doesn't make sense for me to pay monthly for games I already paid for, especially if it only requires a software change.

 

[jetpacunlimited]

Did you just g to the idea of paying a monthly fee to play games you ALREADY OWN?

I mean, I heard of being a fanboy but... wow :x

 

[tekthemaestro]

companies find ways to get pennies out of you. welcome to the world of business. i see you havent been formally introduced.

 

[bamez]

I like to wear earbuds inside the Gold Wireless so I can play my own music, or listen to podcasts, from my phone and hear the game audio.  Now THAT **** hurts my ears after about an hour.

 

[danikerhino]

Well I'll continue to not buy into that business plan especially when Microsoft is going another route. PSNow is gunna fail.

 

[bamez]

But we pay to play online now, when we didn't on PS3.  We're already in it
