Sony: PS4 was the top-selling console of 2014 worldwide

Sony may have lost the console sales race to Microsoft’s Xbox One in November and December, but it won the year as a whole.

Sony confirmed that the PlayStation 4 was the best-selling gaming console worldwide in 2014, and it is continuing on a sales pace that is faster than any previous PlayStation system ever. Globally, the console-gaming market generates around $50 billion in spending, which is why it is so important to both Sony and Microsoft.
