From PC World: Sales of Sony’s PlayStation 4 platform have surpassed 7 million units worldwide but supply problems are continuing, the electronics giant said.
Now available in 72 countries and regions, the platform had notched the milestone as of April 6, Sony Computer Entertainment said Thursday, about a month after it announced sales hit 6 million.
“We are still facing difficulties keeping up with the strong demand worldwide,” Andrew House, SCE president and group CEO, said in a release.
A spokesman for the company in Tokyo would not elaborate on the issue, saying only that “PS4 sales have been very strong and as a result, PS4 is temporarily in short supply.”
The console was available on Thursday at Yodobashi Camera and other major retailers in Japan, where it launched in late February.
The PS4 had sold more than 1 million units on its first day when it launched in the U.S. and Canada in November 2013. Such was the brisk demand that in January, U.S. video game retailer GameStop issued a press release when it received a fresh supply of PS4 units.
