IGN is reporting that Sony’s first quarter report is out. This report details sales from April – June 30 of this year and has some impressive numbers to counter the abysmal turnout from 2013. The game and network division of the company is reporting 2.5bn in sales which is attributed to the successful launch of their flagship console the PS4.
The report doesn’t show individual numbers, but shows a combined 3.5 million units in Q1 across their console lineup.
Microsofts same report showed the Xbox selling 1.1 million units in Q1 giving Sony the 3:1 lead to start 2014. It is worth noting, however, that Sony does have an additional console on the market to help with these sales numbers. It is also worth noting that the turnaround this year vs Sony’s 2013 numbers Last year q1 showed a loss of 16.4bn, while this quarter had a profit of 4.3bn. Looks like our consoles will be here a while.
