Sony wants 5 million PS4's sold by April

Sony has revealed that five million PlayStation 4 consoles are expected to be sold by April 2014.

President of Sony Computer Entertainment Andrew House spoke about the figure during the company's keynote at the Tokyo Game Show this morning.

As the PS4 is launching in November, that works out to about a million consoles sold a month.

In comparison Nintendo's Wii U, which was released November 2012, had shifted 3.61million units by June.

Microsoft hasn't yet revealed its sales target for the Xbox One.
