Sony said it has sold 5.3 million PlayStation 4 game consoles as of 8 February, surpassing its full-year target ahead of its release in Japan next week.
Sony had said it hoped to sell five million units by the end of March after releasing the PlayStation 4 on 29 November in the US, Western Europe and Latin America, and rolling it out across other Asian countries since then.
The console will go on sale in Japan on 22 February, the last country currently scheduled to handle the device.
Microsoft said in January that it had sold more than three million of its Xbox One consoles by the end of December after it was also released in late November.
