PS4 Sells 1,143,542 Units in Opening Year in Japan

In an anniversary that may have passed you by, Sony celebrated the Playstation 4's first year of life in Japan on February 22. According to data taken from Media Create, the console has sold 1,143,542 in its debut year.

Here's to hoping the Playstation 4 celebrates many more anniversaries surrounded by such positive news. The Playstation 4 will be celebrating its two-year anniversary in both Europe and North America in November later this year.
