About 15 percent of PS4 owners bought the console’s camera peripheral

While Microsoft includes a camera with every Xbox One, Sony decided to sell the PlayStation 4’s cam separately to help keep the console’s cost down. This helped both the PS4 and the peripheral sell well.

Sony senior engineer Chris Norden gave a presentation at today’s Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, where he explained that around 15 percent of all PS4 owners also purchased the PlayStation 4 Camera. With more than 6 million PS4s sold, that means Sony has sold approximately 900,000 camera units. That’s not bad for the $70 peripheral (which sold at $60 until recently).
