The PS4 Is Closing In On 100 Million Units Sold
For this current financial year, Sony projects it will ship another 16 million PS4s, which means shipments will sail pass 100 million, and surely sales will as well. As you may know, only five gaming systems have ever sold over 100 million units: the Wii (102 million), the PlayStation (102 million), the Game Boy (118 million), the Nintendo DS (154 million), and the PS2 (155 million). The PS4 is unlikely to catch the DS or PS2, but it could just wiggle its way past the Game Boy as the third best-selling gaming system of all-time.
Meanwhile, on the software side of things, the PS4 saw 257.6 million software units pushed, including 54.7 million units sold in the final quarter. 37 percent of all software sales were digital for the entire year, while 45 percent were digital for the quarter. The combination of software sales and the money PSN has been racking in both helped pushed the gaming division of Sony to its best year ever.

C4 The Life spans on consoles keep getting shorter and shorter
I mean, it will be around the same life span as the 360/ps3 but it really does seem like just yesterday that I bought an Xbox one... really hard to think I'll have to buy a new console soon.

With the new generation quickly approaching, it's crazy to see this remarkable achievement in time before a next gen release. It's a truly astonishing number that will be difficult to ever pass again.
