Happy Christmas from PlayStation Blog!

Hi there everyone. Time for a quick festive post to wish you all the very best on Christmas morning from everyone here at PlayStation. To all those who celebrate it, I hope you have a great day with friends and family, give and receive some cracking gifts, and manage not to over-eat too grossly. And to those of you who don’t, have a great day too, and try not to kill too many brain cells with all that festive TV, yes?
Also, I’ll take the opportunity to say a big thank you for frequenting PlayStation Blog over the past 12 months and keeping us all on our toes. It’s been a big year, to be sure. We’ve welcomed over two million new readers in 2013 – if you’re among the newcomers, many thanks for joining us!

Our Instagram account certainly existed in 2012, but we really started giving it some proper TLC this year, posting 208 images and video clips from PlayStation events around the globe. Not checked it out yet? You should! It’s quite good! Take a look at a few choice images below:

Phew, I’m off to cool myself down after all those numbers. Love that data. Once again, thanks to everyone who’s read a post, commented on a post and, of course, all those wonderful game developers who’ve taken the time to actually write a post. SCEE salutes you all. Please do join us again in 2014. We *may* have a new look PlayStation Blog to show you before the year is too old!
Have a wonderful Christmas, and do let us know if you’ve found anything cool under the tree. Someone must have got a videogame or two, right?
