After a successful holiday season, Sony\u2019s PlayStation 4 is nearing some pretty wild milestones.<\/p>\n

The company announced Monday that they had sold over\u00a05.6 million PS4 units over the holiday season worldwide, bringing the total number of current-gen consoles sold to 91.6 million, a number that suggests the popular console is still vibrant even after five years on the market.<\/p>\n
