According to the it, Sony sold 3.9 million PS4 consoles through to retailers by the end of the second quarter, which concluded on September 30. Combining this number with the other given number of 82.2 million at the end of Q1, we can now learn that the PS4 has now surpassed the 85 million units shipped mile marker, with the number now at 86.1 million.This figure also takes into account both the PS4 and PS4 Pro. Sony continues to get along at a steady pace with PS4 shipments, even though this quarter’s numbers are lower than that of Q2 in 2017.

As for the remainder of the FY2018, Sony has updated the estimates of what they expect their gaming division to bring in. Compared to the end of Q1, shipping estimates for the PS4 have now risen from 17 million to 17.5 million. Additionally, overall sales for the year are now expected to be 8% higher than previously expected thanks to an increase in software sales and PS Plus subscriptions.

Sony had a good year of sales becuase of both God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man, which surely has led to this readjustment in projections through the end of this fiscal year. With the holidayend year holiday's coming up, Sony might very well be on pace to surpass 90 million PS4 units shipped by the end of Q3 FY 2018.
