PlayStation 4 Sales Top 30 Million Worldwide

Published

It’s been almost exactly two years since the arrival of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and what started out as a gap between two longtime competitors has gradually become more of a chasm. With more than 30.2 million consoles sold worldwide — more than the Xbox One (10M shipped as of Nov 2014) and Wii U (10.7M sold as of Sept 30, 2015) — it’s not a stretch to say the PS4 is dominating the competition right now.

What’s particularly impressive about this is Sony has achieved this milestone with a lackluster first party line-up that’s arguably not quite as strong as what the Xbox One has going for it this holiday season thanks to Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Unfortunately, even the combined talents of Lara Croft and the Master Chief can’t make up for the platform’s weaknesses, including Xbox Live Gold, which is still objectively inferior to PS Plus.

And that’s not to say the PS4 doesn’t have some strong exclusives. It does, and they’re called Bloodborne. Speaking of which, Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is out now.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
