Divorce rates soar as PlayStation 4 released

The PlayStation 4 was only released today, but the government has already announced a 30% rise in the number of people going to court to request a divorce. This follows on from the news a few months ago that divorce rates had experienced a 40% rise for around 3 weeks after Grand Theft Auto 5 was released. Facebook also released information this afternoon showing a huge jump of people changing their relationship status to "single".
"We find this often", said a spokesperson for Facebook. "We usually see drops in relationships on the website when new games or gaming consoles are released. We saw the same with the release of GTAV, although this is nothing compared to the drop we saw upon the release of FIFA 2014, when 15% of UK couples became single in the week after it was released."
"Relationship breakdowns often occur after new games are released. It is usually due, unsurprisingly, to one partner being interested in a game and the other not," said Professor of Sociology at Southampton University Nota R. Eel-Seance. "These statistics also, though to a lesser extent, tend to follow the pattern of football games, especially national ones."
