The PlayStation 4 Pro helped push the PS4 family to massive success in the 2010s.

PlayStation 4 sales pass 86.1 million in 5 years

Sony revealed today that the PlayStation 4 has sold over 86.1 million systems. The info came in a blog post celebrating the console’s fifth anniversary. The PS4 debuted on November 15, 2013 (I know you can probably do the math, but I’m just making sure).

The platform has also sold over 777.9 million copies of software. PlayStation 4 has had a steady stream of exclusives that have helped move consoles and game sales. These include 2016’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn. This year has been huge for Sony, with God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man both breaking sales records for PlayStation exclusives.
