It's not just Microsoft that enjoyed a record-breaking holiday season. Sony on Tuesday announced that it sold more than 5.7 million PlayStation 4 systems during the holiday season, bringing the platforms' new sales tally to 35.9 million units globally as of January 3, 2016.

 

PlayStation 4 game sales were also strong during the holiday season, with more than 35 million copies sold at brick-and-mortar stores and through the PlayStation Store. Sales numbers for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games were not divulged, nor did Sony name a top-selling PS4 holiday game.

 

Sony also today announced that PlayStation Plus subscriptions rose by 60 percent compared to the same period last year, though no specific figures were shared.

 

"We are absolutely delighted that so many customers have selected PS4 as the best place to play throughout this holiday season and that the PS4 community is growing more than ever," Sony Computer Entertainment president and CEO Andrew House said in a statement. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to deliver innovative entertainment experiences."

 

House went on to say that Sony aims to deliver an "unprecedented games portfolio" for 2016. He called out titles like Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, a new Hot Shots Golf, and The Last Guardian in the press release.

    • Surprised they didn't also say "upgrade to windows 11".
    • Windows 11 KB5062785, KB5062683, KB5062688, KB5062693 setup, recovery updates released by Sayan Sen This week, Microsoft released the monthly security "Patch Tuesday" July updates for Windows 11 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2 under KB5062553 and KB5062552. The company also published dynamic updates alongside them. (Windows 10 dynamic updates have also been released.) Dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, also called Safe OS updates, as well as to the Setup binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. These packages include fixes to Setup.exe binaries, SafeOS updates for Windows Recovery Environment, and more. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. Both setup and recovery updates were released. The changelogs are given below. First up we have the Setup updates: Up next, we have the Safe OS recovery updates and this time Microsoft does note a fix which is a rarity. The company says that it resolves a USB-C issue on 24H2 Arm64 systems: Microsoft notes that the Recovery updates as well as the Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel. You can also avail them manually on Microsoft's Update Catalog website: KB5062785, KB5062683, KB5062688, and KB5062693.
    • Microsoft reiterates it may never truly be able to fix Windows Update 0x80070643 error by Sayan Sen Back in April, Microsoft released Windows 10 dynamic updates under KB5057589, KB5055674, KB5056474, KB5055769, KB5055768, and KB5055770. The one for KB5057589 was one for WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment), and it kept failing with the 0x80070643 error code despite user PCs satisfying the necessary requirement of having more than 250 MB disk space for the recovery partition. Microsoft closed the issue in April itself as it promised a better update that won't fail later. The tech giant at the time said that Windows "will not offer this update again" if you had already installed it. However, with the monthly Dynamic updates (ones for Windows 11 also released) that are accompanying the July 2025 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 10, Microsoft has released a new WinRE update again, this time under KB5063523. The company writes in its release notes: Microsoft adds that the update fixed the previous issue although the error code "0x80070643" will still pop up: As Microsoft points out, this is not the only dynamic update Microsoft released. Alongside, Windows recovery update, setup updates have also been released. For those not familiar, these Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. These packages include fixes to Setup.exe binaries, SafeOS updates for Windows Recovery Environment, and more. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. First up, we have the setup updates: Up next, we have the recovery updates: The necessary updates will be downloaded and installed automatically from the Windows Update channel.
    • I still say it's not real until they do it in the real world and not just in a simulation.
