https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/11/15/celebrate-the-fifth-anniversary-of-playstation-4/

From PS.blog:

It's hard to believe it's already been five years since the launch of PlayStation 4. In that time, we've sold more than 86.1 Million hardware units, in addition to over 777.9 Million software units worldwide. We are so grateful to all the fans who have helped us come this far — it truly is an amazing time to be a part of the PlayStation family, and we thank you for your continued support.

Here are a few highlights of some unique PS4 stats, including what games you all have played the most and what DualShock 4 color is the most popular after the standard black (hint: it's a color we love at PlayStation). Check out the infographic below.



To celebrate this occasion, we are also revealing a new PS4 bundle to add to our lineup, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 PS4 bundle.

If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to join the PS4 community and experience the latest multiplayer first-person shooter that features gritty, grounded, fluid Multiplayer combat, the biggest Zombies offering ever with three full undead adventures, and Blackout, where the universe of Black Ops comes to life in one massive battle royale experience. Not to mention, PS4 players can look forward to unlocking content in advance of anyone else*.
This bundle is available November 27 at participating retailers nationwide for $299.99 MSRP (USD) / $379.99 MSRP (CAN), and includes a jet-black 1TB PS4 system, a matching DualShock 4 wireless controller, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 on Blu-ray Disc.

I think Sony made a mistake on its infographic.

The 86.1 million number is indeed sell in as of Sep 30th 2018.
The 777.9m software number was originally reported as sell through as of June 30th 2018. But the infographic labels it as 'sell in'.

Awkward.

Sony is just being modest.

Or they really like the number 7.

Wish Sony showed the impressive stats of their exclusives, disappointed to not see God of War, spiderman, Horizon Zero Dawn & Uncharted 4 in that list!

If FIFA and COD weren't a thing, Playstation 4 would be at about 40 million now, not 80. So many people must buy a PS4 just for one of those two games, every year. It's one big reason Sony handhelds fail, those casual players don't care about PSPs and Vitas.

That bundle confirmed that there are not going to release a $199 PS4 for December so the switch will destroy in December.

Sad at those "most downloaded/popular" games. There are so many other amazing experiences than CoD or FIFA. :(

Same, a line with "Best selling exclusives" would have been cool

Dead by Daylight devs must be happy when they knew their game have been part of the most downloaded PS+ games

Celebrating 5 years by making a bundle for a barebones sequel to a multiplatform stale game series instead of any of your amazing first party exclusives is hilarious

How abysmal that Fifa is most popular twice and COD. PSVR only the saviour for me this gen, If i didnt have that look at the yearly iterations and sequels i'd be inundated with.
