PS4 is exactly at 117.2 million. Will you continue tracking it? I think it does not make any sense anymore...

I would say if it ever reaches 117.3 million, it can get an update for that, otherwise yeah I believe PS4 is at the end of the road. If its sales drop the same amount in 2025 as 2024, we are talking ~10,000 units for the year lol

I have a question: We know the PS4 shipped 117,2 million. It was tracked till it reached those sales. Was the PS4 really tracked in its final month or did you guys say: Na lets put a number high/ small enough so it mathches 117,2 million? 😉 Anyway, nice hit!! Bullseye!😎
