PlayStation 4 beats other consoles in sale numbers
Sony Corp. recently reported that it sold more than 30.2 million PlayStation 4 videogame consoles two years after the introduction of the system. It has sold faster than any of its predecessors.
Sales as of late November were up from March, when Sony provided its most recent update on PlayStation 4 sales. The company aims to ship 17.5 million units during its current fiscal year, which ends in March 2016.
PlayStation's rivals are Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox One and Nintendo Co.'s Wii U.
Microsoft hasn't recently updated its console sales figures, but according to The Wall Street Journal, PlayStation 4 is running ahead of Xbox One.
Nintendo reports that, as of September 2015, more than 10.7 million units of the Wii U console have been sold since its launch in November 2012.
