Sony’s PlayStation 4 has become the second best-selling console of all time, surpassing the original PlayStation, which sold 102.5 million units. The PlayStation 4 reached its peak a while ago, hitting the 100 million sales milestone last July and cementing its lead in the current console generation. The fourth iteration of Sony’s gaming console has been a huge hit for the company, with sales figures now surpassing that of the original PS as well as the Nintendo Wii, which sold 101.6 million units at the time.
Despite this success, the PS4 is still the second-best selling console of all time, standing in the shadow of the formidable PlayStation 2, which sold a whopping 155 million units in its lifetime and is likely going to keep the crown for the forseeable future.
The current console generation is coming to an end, so the PS4 might just have to accept a formidable second place as hype around the upcoming PlayStation 5 builds every passing day.
And yet, there’s plenty of life left in the PS4 to keep things interesting with big exclusives.
