It was not long ago when Sony last updated us on the sales
numbers of its PlayStation 4 gaming console. However now that Microsoft announced that it has sold more than 3 million Xbox
One units in 2013, the Japanese were eager to show that they have topped that
number.
Today, Andrew House, CEO of Sony Computer
Entertainment, took the stage for a
brief moment duringKaz Hirai‘s CES 2014
keynote to announce that the company had managed to sell more than 4.2 million
PS4 gaming consoles.
Sony’s PlayStation 4 sales stood at 2.1 million on December
1 and about 30 days, there were as many more PS4 consoles at the users end. The
Japanese manufacturer will certainly be looking to build on its sales momentum
to take the upper hand in its rivalry against the Xbox One.
In addition from breaking the news of its latest sales
numbers, Sony also unveiled its new PlayStation Now streaming and cloud TV
service. Sony’s PS Now assistance will now give you instant access to games
from previous models like PS2 and PS3.
According to House, even the non-console
owners will be able to access the service when it rolls out this summer.
Meanwhile, the beta testing of service will begin in US by the end of this
month.
With the cloud based TV service, you can access TV content
through the PlayStation console. The new service will give you the flexibility
of watching your favorite TV shows and movies on iPads and smartphones whenever
you want. Sony will be testing out the service thoroughly in the US before
rolling it commercially.
