PS4 delivered the best launch in PlayStation history with the North American release and we’ve continued this incredibly successful start in Europe, Australasia and Latin America. Demand remains incredibly strong and continues to overwhelm the supply worldwide, but we are diligently working to meet those growing demands and to deliver additional PS4 units to our retail partners throughout the holiday season. We are extremely grateful for the passion of PlayStation fans and thank them for their continued support.

After saying how there have been over 6.5 million shares captured so far, Sony talked about how the 2014 lineup of titles includes inFamous: Second Son, MLB 14: The Show, Destiny, Watch Dogs, DriveClub, and The Order 1886.
