The PlayStation 4 (officially abbreviation PS4) is an eighth generation video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. Presented on February 20, 2013, it succeeds PlayStation 3 and is in competition with Microsoft s Xbox One and the Wii U and then the Nintendo Switch. It came out on November 15, 2013 in the United States and Canada, 29 November in Europe and Australia, and February 22, 2014 in Japan. In 2016, on the occasion of the output of two hardware revisions, the original model is replaced by the PlayStation 4 called Slim and the PlayStation 4 Pro. On July 30, 2019, Sony announces on the one hand that his fourth salon support has elapsed in the world at 100 million units since the end of 2013, and on the other hand that more than a billion games have been sold since its launch. On this last point, the PlayStation 4 is the second video game console of the story to reach such a figure after the PlayStation 2,. It is also the best-selling console of its generation. Its best-selling game is Grand Theft Auto V, whose sales figures are 19.39 million copies sold on this support.
PlayStation 5 has managed to disengage Nintendo Switch as the best-selling console in the month of September in the United States, as reports Mat Piscatella, director of NPD Group. This achievement arrives after 33 months of domain in sales of the Nintendo console, which means that it was the best-selling console every month since December 2018.
It seems clear that the PS5 leadership has come thanks to the month prior to the launch of Nintendo Switch, where many users will have preferred to store the wallet until the new version of the hybrid came out. This fact has caused Sony s last console to be positioned as the best selling September in the United States, both in profit dollars and total units. According to Piscatella, it also rises as the plus dollars has generated in what we have been 2021, although Switch continues to be the one who leads the year as to real units sold (we must take into account the price difference between both systems).
The market research company has shown that consumer spending on September videogame hardware increased by 49% compared to the same month of the previous year, reaching a figure of 412 million dollars. In what we have been 2021, this expenditure in hardware has also increased by 49% with respect to the same nine months of 2020, for a total of 3.4 million dollars.
The company has also revealed the best-selling titles during the past month in the United States, with a Madden NFL 22 that renews its leadership and is followed by FIFA 22, which has exceeded NBA 2K22 in its premiere month (although in the case of the Basketball game The digital sales are not included). It is surprising that in the monthly Top 10 no Nintendo title appears, but there are several that appear among the best selling of the year. There are super mario 3d world (in a fifth place without counting digital copies) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (in the seventh place, also counting only physical edition), with a Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War that stays as The best sold in the last nine months.
