PlayStation 4: It Caught Up To The PlayStation Vita in Japan!

The PlayStation 4 reached two milestones last week.

According to Media Create, Sony should pop open a bottle of champagne due to the local results in Japan. Up to December 17, a total of 511255 PlayStation 4 Pro-s were sold just in that country! As the console launched there on November 10, it’s an alright result in a little over a year, although the Pro sales take just 8.85% of the total PS4 figures!

The PlayStation 4 finally left the PlayStation Vita behind. It’s not a joke: the handheld, which is nowadays ignored by Sony Interactive Entertainment, launched in December 2011 in Japan, and it took the PlayStation 4 over 3.5 years (as it became available in its domestic market in February 2014) to catch up: 5775515 PlayStation 4 sales vs. 5765869 PlayStation Vita – both are in the millions.

Let’s quickly mention the Nintendo Switch as well: on the December 11-17 week, 221210 of it was sold. It’s almost twice as much as all the other consoles’ sales combined…
