This is an impressive feat for Sony, considering the company is responsible for the PS2 and PS4, two of the world\u2019s biggest console launches ever. It\u2019s not surprising, however, given the anticipation for the new machine, and how successful the PS4 has been with players<\/a>, shipping over 113 million units life-to-date.<\/p>\n
