PS4 on track to beat PS2 as the best selling console ever

4.6

If we weren't too grown up to be discussing console wars we'd probably be announcing a winner and holding up an awkwardly parallelogram shaped belt right about now. In its quarterly earnings Sony has reported sales of three million PS4s in the last three months, taking overall sales to an incredible 25.3 million consoles.

This figure positively sails past the two years and eight months it took for PS2 to reach 20 million. Given that the PS2 went on to being the biggest selling console ever with over 155 million sold, I'd say this is some positive news. Plus, due to dropping production costs on the console, Sony's profits have also soared 350% with a 12% uplift in sales from the same period last year.

I still remember having a ps2, Those were the days.

I think the big thing with the PS2 is that it sold 40M+ after the PS3 came out. For the PS4 to reach 150M+ they would have to continue to sell like hotcakes after the PS5 comes out.

But with competition from the Xbox One and the future NX it will be hard as in those days there was little competition. Will be interesting.

PS2 was properly the best console but i liked the 360 more.

So still around a sixth of the total Ps2 sales? Nowhere near it especially as the competition is far greater with this generation of console
