Tokyo: Sony said on Tuesday it has sold more than 2.1 million PlayStation 4 consoles after less than three weeks on the market, as it battles Microsoft and Nintendo for supremacy in the lucrative gaming sector.

The eagerly-awaited PlayStation sold more than one million units in just one day after its November 15 debut in North America and Sony said it was on track to hit a worldwide target of 5.0 million units by March. The latest PlayStation, which will be released in its home market Japan in February, is now being sold in 32 countries.
