Sony: PS4 sales surpass 18.5 million following holiday boom
Sony's numbers represent the company's estimates of units sold to consumers, as opposed to retail shipments. According to Sony, the PS4 "continues to demonstrate the fastest and strongest growth in PlayStation hardware history." To contrast and compare, the PS3 shipped 10.5 million units within a similar timeframe, and the PS2 10.6 million units.
"We are absolutely delighted that so many customers around the globe have continued to select PS4 as their console of choice throughout this holiday season," said Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House. "We will continue to reinforce and deliver additional value on PS4 as the best place to play, by bringing even more exciting content and by enriching our wide array of service offerings."

iBaby I bought a PS4 Last year and it was awful
xbox one is so much better especially the dashboard, PS4 Dashboard is plain and so dull, Don't get why they have sold so many tbh
People buy consoles GAMING Consoles to GAME, Not to be staring at the dashboard all day, and neither console has an awful yet amazing dashboard.. who cares about the dashboard.. PS4 Is slimmer.. looks better... RUNS better.. with a 50% Bigger GPU.. And you get more for your subscribtions worth... And NOt only are the people realizing PS is better.. But Huge Companies are too.. why do you think GTA 5 came to us first? And Games in 2015 such as Street Fighter V are Exclusive to PS4.. I Have both consoles but leave the entertainment part to Xbox and The Gaming Part To PS4

EthicsCraigyy It may sound like a lot, but i bet they spent that and more on building and designing the thing to start with...
most probably lol, i bet that console cost absolutley loads to come up with.
The PS4 only costed them almost half a billion to design and create.
