PlayStation 4 Price Raised in Canada $50 Due to 'Changes in the Market Environment'

The PlayStation 4 received a $50 price raise in Canada due to "changes in the market environment," said Sony, reported the Toronto Sun.

The console will go from $399.99 to $449.99, and the DualShock 4 and PlayStation Camera are going up between $5 and $64.99, reported Polygon.

This applies to Xbox One games as well, with both consoles having new games for $64.99, and some as high as $69.99. Currently, Infamous: Second Son and MLB 14 The Show are set at that price point.

The PlayStation 4's sales have surpassed six million units worldwide announced Sony.

"There have now been more than 3.6 million live broadcasts, and more than 56 million spectate sessions on PS4 through Twitch and Ustream," John Koller, vice president of marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment said on the PlayStation blog. "In fact, since January 1st, PS4 gamers account for 20 percent of daily broadcasters on Twitch. PS4 owners are also embracing the Share button on the Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller, with more than 100 million shares captured as fans show friends their latest achievements on Facebook and Twitter."

Sony also announced around 90 percent of U.S. owners have their PS4 connected to the Internet.

The PlayStation 4 had sold an estimated 322K units in Japan over the two day period of its launch, and over a million units in its first 24 hours in North America.

The console launched on Feb. 22 in two versions, the standard console for 39,980 yen, and the more expensive console that came with the Eye camera peripheral for 43,980 yen, reported Polygon. Both versions came with Knack for free.

PlayStation 4's availability has gone down the last few weeks because of the overwhelming demand of the conference announced Sony.

The PlayStation 4 launched Nov. 15, and is currently $399.
