House of Japan reports that 100 million PlayStation systems were sold so far with the PS4, PS3 and PS Vita combined. Sony PlayStation Japan has also released a brand-new celebratory video, commemorating the impressive sales figures of recent PlayStation platforms, announcing that the modern PlayStation family managed to sell over 100 million units worldwide.

The PlayStation 3 was extremely successful, and the PlayStation 4 got off to a great start, surpassing its main competitor, Microsoft’s all-in-one computer entertainment system, the Xbox One, by a rather large margin.

The last official number issued by Sony placed the PlayStation 4 at over 9 million units sold by the end of May this year, and combining that with the PlayStation 3‘s 80+ million units total, that puts the PlayStation Vita‘s global sales at somewhere over 10 million devices.

While the Vita has underperformed a bit, the handheld device still has some degree of momentum, and is not nearly “dead in the water”, just a bit slower than expected. Sony has even gone as far as to say that lately the mini-gaming device is actually doing better than expected, especially in North America.

Still, the Vita has a lot of units to sell, before it can threaten the reigning the current king of handheld gaming, Nintendo, who’s most recent official figures put the Nintendo 2DS / 3DS family at somewhere over 42 million units sold worldwide, as of December 2013.
