IGN has revealed some interesting facts about sales of PlayStation units sold in Q1 2014.

Though Sony doesn’t reveal how many PS4 and PS3 consoles were sold separately, the report confirms combined sales to the consumer of 3.5 million units in the first quarter of the year, a big jump from last year’s 1.1 million, while sales of PSP, Vita and Vita TV rose to 750,000, up from last year’s 600,000. Combined software sales also saw a leap from ¥68bn to ¥85bn.

Microsoft‘s financial report for the same period was announced last week, revealing combined shipping figures for Xbox One and Xbox 360 sit at 1.1 million, meaning for the first three months of this financial year the PlayStation brand outsold Xbox 3:1.
