PS4, Xbox One sales prove console gaming is not dead, says Mortal Kombat dev
"Reports of consoles' death have been greatly exaggerated," says Ed Boon.
Strong early sales for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One proves that console gaming is alive and well, Mortal Kombat co-creator and industry veteran Ed Boon said on Twitter today.
"3 Million Xbox Ones + 4.2 Million PS4s = 7.2 Million next-gen consoles = Reports of consoles death have been greatly exaggerated! :)" Boon said.
Sony announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that PS4 sales reached 4.2 million units in 2013, outpacing the Xbox One's 3 million by 1.2 million systems.
Last month, Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg said the strong early sales for the PS4 and Xbox One is "great news" for the industry.
