By this point, it’s no surprise that PlayStation continues to be one of the key drivers, if not the key driver for Sony’s path towards recovery. Sony has just revealed their latest quarter earnings report and PS4 is once again shining for the company as the powerful console approaches the 30 million units sold. To put into perspective how stellar these numbers are, Xbox One sales hover around 13-15 million units shipped while PS4 currently sits at 29.3 shipped with 25 million units sold having been announced some time ago.

Some more numbers after the jump.

Thanks to the continued strength of PS4, PlayStation operating income was lifted from ¥60 billion to ¥80 billion which is an increase of $166 million. As a comparison, 3.3 million in the same period last year where Sony was able to sell 4 million units this quarter.

PS3 unit and software sales continue to decline but that’s no surprise at this point. With PS4 price cuts and deals looming all over and a series of AAA titles set to be released in 2016, look for the console to further increase its lead and dominance next year as sales of it continue to outpace the PS2.

In a separate article, I’ll dive into Sony’s number as a whole. Spoiler warning, things are looking good for the once-battered tech giant.

Do you think Sony will have a good holiday season with the PS4 or will a lack of exclusives hurt them?
