PlayStation Plus subscriptions have tripled since PS4 launched, according to Sony’s UK boss Fergal Gara.

The news came out of a PS Vita Slim reveal event in London yesterday. Sony’s new handheld will launch in the UK on February 7, and you’ll find pricing and details through the link.

Gara revealed the latest PS Plus figures during the event, as seen in this photo tweeted by TheSixthAxis.
