Sony, the company behind the PS4, has revealed their financial report, showing a net income of 26.8 billion yen ($261 million). The financial report also revealed that the company sold 3.5 million combined PS4 and PS3 consoles. Comparing these facts to Microsoft reveals that the PS4+PS3 are outselling Xbox One + Xbox 360 at a 3:1 ratio.

Overall, Sony's gaming division showed a change for the better as they moved from a $164 million operating loss in Q1 last year to a profit of $43 million this year. While Sony did not report any specific sales for the PS4/PS3, the company does say that there was a slight decrease in PS3 sales year over year. With this information we can estimate PS4 sales at somewhere around the 2.4 million year over year increase, as well as a bit more to account for the decrease in PS3 sales.

Not that surprising really. Even with MS's price cuts, there is alot of people still fuming over stuff from before the Xbone was launched. More and more people are switching to Sony. There is also a rising trend into the PC world which doesn't help their sales any.
