Holiday demand pushes Sony's PlayStation 4 sales to over 18.5m units

Tokyo

SONY Corp on Tuesday said sales of its PlayStation 4 video game consoles exceeded 18.5 million units as of Jan 4, up from 13.5 million at the end of October, showing solid holiday demand and a bright spot for a company recovering from a massive cyber-attack.

Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said last month that holiday sales in Europe were so strong that it was fighting to keep up with demand.
