Sony has said sales of its PlayStation 4 video game console exceeded 30.2 million units as of Nov. 22, as global price cuts ahead of the year-end holiday season bolstered demand.
The PlayStation 4, which went on sale in late 2013, has been Sony’s fastest-selling game console, the Japanese electronics manufacturer said. It hit sales of 20 million consoles in March.
The console helped Sony book its highest second-quarter operating profit in eight years.
A recent report reveals that Sony plans to use PS2 emulation software aboard its PS4 to run older titles. And it so happens that the first titles to support this emulation software are already out in what appears to be a soft-launch of sorts. The Star Wars: Battlefront PS4 console title also happens to pack in some older titles like Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and more.
Reportedly, the games are not new ports of old code, but old code itself. This means that the Sony PlayStation 4 uses emulation software to get the job done easier.
