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.

It's really not that surprising, There are a lot more people that are into video games now then there were then. Also as long as it beats the Nintendo DS, I will be happy. Did you guys know that its the second most selling video game console only behind the PS2, only by like a million sold. Yeah just let that sink in.

I'm actually surprised that many people bought PS2s, didn't know gaming was that popular back then.

Pint I am seriuosly considering buying a PS4 but I wan't to try out the controller


This coming from someone who had a 360 and hated the PS3 controller... I love it. The triggers aren't shit anymore and the sticks feel really nice.
