Amen brother...AMEN!!
Mind boggling...
So does that mean PS4 has officially surpassed 3DS? Wasn’t expecting so soon.
Almost halfway to PS2 numbers. Let's hope the coming four years stay strong.
With next year’s lineup, it almost certainly will. If Sony does some agressive bundling with Spider-Man and RDR2, to name a couple, they’re going to kill it in 2018
Global domination. 75m this fiscal year and 80m by next e3. Nothing stops this train.
Sony has been talking 79 million shipped by FY2017 end, so we’ll see how that goes.
PS3, 11 years, 87 million. PS4, 4 years, 70 million and counting. WOW.
THE BEAST. THE KING. THE MONSTER. THE JUGGERNAUT
Freaking hell that is just amazing!!! #1 gaming brand for sure!
How long did it take the PS4 to break 10 million???
100?! Probably early-mid 2019.
Amazing numbers!
PS Four the Gamers... A beast for the gaming lovers.
It will catch up to the PS3 in the next 10 months. But it will require this gen to last 4 more years to surpass the PS2. Very unlikely.
The PS2 didn't reach 150 million within its own generation however.
That’s true. PS2 managed to sell 30+ million units post-PS3 launch, but because of the extremely cheap price and the fact that the PS3 launch was so botched. I have a feeling Sony isn’t going to making such mistakes with PS5, so assuming we see PS5 in 2019/ 2020, I doubt PS4 will do nearly as well after that launches.
