PS4 global sales now stand at over 20.2 million

The PS4 has sold 20.2 million units worldwide.

Sony announced the new PS4 sales milestone at GDC 2015 today.

It's a hell of an achievement and salt in the wounds for Microsoft, which hasn't updated us on Xbox One sales since it shipped "almost" 10 million back in November last year, and has fallen back behind the PS4 in monthly sales in the US in the interim.

Sony itself gave us an update as recently as January, but has sold another 1.7 million units since then. Wowsers.

"We are so grateful for the enormous support from PlayStation fans worldwide, and we are truly humbled that gamers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as the best place to play,” SCE CEO Andrew House said in a statement.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver unique and interactive entertainment experiences powered by the network and the PS4 system’s deep social capabilities.”
