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 latest PlayStation, which will be released in its home market Japan in February, is now being sold in 32 countries.
