Nintendo Wii. As this new report shows, however, Sony is still selling both hardware and software at record rates.
This generation of consoles, including the PS4 and Horizon: Zero Dawn, and many others have sold upwards of at least a million copies each.
The news that more than one billion games have been sold on PlayStation 4 comes from sales of Call of Duty have exceeded 300 million.
The PlayStation 4 game sales, as reported by Sony Interactive Entertainment, officially for all purchases made through retail distributors as well as online purchases made through the PlayStation Store. However, it is worth noting that no add-on content is included in these sales figures. Whether this means game expansions such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine or Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds were excluded remains unclear, but if these expansions were included, they would surely for millions upon millions of additional sales.
The continued reports of impressive hardware and software sales across the games industry projects strongly for the forthcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Both home consoles are expected to launch in 2020 with first-party and third-party games. However, the line between those parties continues to thin, especially in the wake of reports that the PlayStation exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn may be coming to PC. This would be significant because Sony is traditionally protective of their IPs, which is something that certainly drives consumers to their platform. Perhaps now Sony is weighing the costs of including other companies into their first-party IPs, supposing that their already fruitful sales will only grow larger with the release of their games on platforms other than PlayStation.
