“We are delighted that so many people are enjoying the unique entertainment proposition of PlayStation 4 and that an emerging technology like PlayStation VR continues to gain traction,” said Andrew House, Chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment.

“I cannot thank our fans and partners enough. Their support, since the launch of very first PlayStation in 1994, has helped to make PlayStation one of the biggest console gaming network in the world. We will continue to work closely with partners to maintain this momentum and remain steadfast in making PS4 the best place to play,” added House.

Sony is looking to expand its software portfolio even further with an array of games including Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, Monster Hunter: World, Ryu ga Gotoku Kiwami, God of War, and Shadow of the Colossus.
