At the recent Investor Day 2016, Sony revealed some details about their PlayStation.
The PS4 has reached a new milestone: According to the “Investor Relations” report, Sony’s current console has sold over 40 million units. This figure represents sales to end customers.
Thus, the PS4 is increasingly competing with the PS2 to become the most successful Sony gaming console of all time. It is already the fastest-selling PlayStation.
Over 20 million users subscribe to the “PS Plus” service
Furthermore, it has been revealed that the online service PlayStation Plus boasts 20.8 million members across all Sony devices. Expanding this area is among the successes that the company has achieved in the fiscal year 2015.
This number is interesting: It shows that many PlayStation 4 players are opting out of the online service. PS Plus is required for online multiplayer gaming. The service costs about 50 euros per year.
The report, by the way, does not mention at all the upcoming PlayStation 4 Neo, the new “high-end PS4”. In the part of the report where the company’s future investments are presented, the new console is completely absent.
