2m PlayStation 4 consoles have been sold in the UK, MCV can reveal.
Sony’s home console sailed past the milestone over the weekend, and reaches this level faster than it managed to with PlayStation 2. The machine is currently the best-selling UK games console for 2015 so far.
Fergal Gara has joined Amazon UK as director of PC.
He joins the company after four years in charge of PlayStation’s UK and Ireland business.
During his tenure, he helped turn around the firm’s fortunes in the UK. PlayStation was ranked No.3 in terms of console market share when he joined the business and, by the time he left, PS4 was the No.1 games console in the country.
He was in charge of marketing, sales, finance and customer service
Prior to joining PlayStation, Gara spent six years at Asda, which included stints as category director for music, video and games, general manager for entertainment and - eventually - trading director for Asda Direct.
He´s been in charge of Sony PlayStation UK since 2011, meaning he was in charge for the PS3 doings in that territorial .... if PS3 was only 3rd when he joined Sony, he prolly hasn´t done much to change that image.
Dunno how you can now claim that thanks to him the PS4 is nrº1 in UK. It has to do more that the PS4 is a sexy beast and successful on its own merits and not because he was in charge of it. You could most likely hire an ape from the local Zoo to direct Sony UK and the PS4 would still print money like a wh...
PlayStation UK head Fergal Gara talked about what Black Friday and the season around it ended up resulting in.
The PS4 has had unprecedented success since it was released in 2013, but its predecessor, the PS3, seems to be drifting off into the distance. This Fall represents a massive opportunities for developers and publishers to capitalize on a rising new-gen audience and Sony is quite aware of that.
Seing as how Tretton said there'd be a 10 year plan for the console, this should come as no surprise
Seeing how everyone gets excited with all the remasters for PS4 I'm not surprised and sorely disappointed. That generation lasted longer than it should, I'm baffled to why people want to extend that longer into the PS4. Let's keep it moving.
Wow, the PS4 is selling at a faster rate that the PS2?!? Well colour me dumbfounded! Sony found the secret sauce again.
Wow that's impressive!
"PS4 has hit its 2m UK sales mark after 75 weeks on sale. It hit the 1m milestone after 42 weeks."
Its impressive that the "second" million sales are in 75-42 = 33 weeks. PS4 sales are bbetr now than his launch....
I was in first day and played killzone sf for a year practically non stop,already the ps4 is a system deserving of good sales , it serves all my needs pretty much , now if we can get xbmc running on it...perfect.
Anyone with a ps4 should definitely get Bloodborne. It's the best game of this Gen so far.
