Well, it didn't take long. Sony announced yesterday that one million PS4s had been sold in the US and Canada in the space of a day; not bad going for a brand new piece of technology. The PS4 emerged as an early favourite in the next-gen console race, thanks to a controversial and rather unwelcome set of Xbox One announcements at E3 earlier this year. The tight DRM and seemingly always-on Kinect turned a lot of potential purchasers off (and subsequently into very, very angry people on the internet), and the lower price point of the PS4 has no doubt helped pre-orders.
