Congratulations, Playstation 4. Few consoles can claim to have surpassed 100m units.
Wii and Playstation 1 are next, with 101m and 102m respectively. Above that, only the Gameboy, DS and, of course, the king, aka PS2.

But can they do it again?
That will only depend on A. will the PS5 be able to have some feature to catch the eye of the average consumer like the dvd features of the PS2 or teh Blueray player of the PS4 or B. Xbox literally has nothing to show with the Scarlett.
as a Nintendofag
I say congrats to PlayStation for getting where it is
Nintendo and Xbox fumbled this generation so hard, leaving Sony to rise from their ashes
Yes of course. Even PS3 could've reached 100m had they not started at $600 but at $500.
I doubt it
PS4 got where it is now because of Microsoft's and Nintendo's incompetent launches of Xbox One and Wii U.
PS5 will now have much stronger competition. And because of Chine Tariffs, it going to cost a lot more than $500
So its going to be the PS3 2
PS3 launched at $600 in 2006. That was before the age of people spending $1000 on just a phone. A lot has changed since then. Sony can charge $500 for a console and do fine. I don't think they'll go above that even with tariffs. They're smart enough to realize the start is crucial.
DELETE THIS
But every generation, the winners of the past gen are aways destined to stumble next gen
PS2 was the biggest success
PS3 Fumbles
Wii was the biggest Success
Wii U Fumbles
Xbox 360 was a great Success
Xbox One Fumbles
Probably things are going to be different for Sony, but it just seems destined for the winners to fuck up next gen
Something better come out of all this Are Escape teasing.

they've already done it three times, so...
>PS4 got where it is now because of Microsoft's and Nintendo's incompetent launches of Xbox One and Wii U.
you fags always use this excuse when sony wins. meanwhile, you never hear people claim that the wii only won because sony screwed up. hmm...
>Ps2 was the first sony console
Or
>ps1 was a failure
I'm saying no. It's been 5 years since the ps4 came out right? At that time I was hype to buy it and buy plenty of games.. But now I'm 23 and don't play games like that, I'm happy chillin on PC save the exclusive here and there which I can do on my ps4. They need to market to the younger guys, I don't know if their "hardcore gamer" angle will work. Maybe it will. Let's be honest, MS served this gen to them on a golden platter.
>ps1 was the biggest success
>ps2 was an ever bigger success
oh dear. so much for your autistic "patterns."
What came before PS2 user?
>100 mil shipped
>still not even a single game
how could snoy ever recover?
>shittier and fewer games than predecessor
>outsells it buy 20 million
There’s no accounting for taste
Microsoft should buy EA and make FIFA Xbox exclusive.
>Xbox 360 was a great Success
>Still came last in in the gen
American standards for success is pitifully low.
>Sony sold 1 billion ps4 games as well according to report
Oof
>hmmm which console should I go for?
>should I go for the Consoles with Always DRM and can't even play offline and non of the games I dont even own?
>should I go for the console that I at first thought was a Wii peripheral, but its in fact a Wii with a Second Screen?
>Or should I go with the console that is like a traditional consoles without all the bullshit of the previous 2?
why do snoyfags believe that the PS4 didnt benefit greatly from botched launches of its 2 major competitors?
>NES and SNES were Nintendo Major successes of their gen back to back
>pattern still applies
>b-BUH PS1! I-IT BROKE THE PATTERN!
fucking retards
SNES sold less than nes, little guy :)
They’ve done it 3 out of 4 times so far (PS1, PS2, PS4), so odds are that they will.
nah it's just that amerifats are convinced the USA = the universe
the xbox 360 did great in the US so they think it was a success, while it was barely considered everywhere else.
The xbox one had (and still has) decent sales in the US (still behind the PS4 tho) so they think it's a relevant console worldwide but reality is literally no one outside of the US gives a single flying fuck about the xbox one: it's PS4, shitch and PC, period.
Finna dab on the Wii next.
Greatest Hits list en.m.wikipedia.org
>PS2 has 150+ titles
>PS3 has 70 titles
>PS4....40 titles
Sonyfags need to GTFO and take their shit console with them
>SNES considered a success
>sold less than NES and barely above Xbox One
The “less players in the 90s” excuse would only work if the NES didn’t outsell it.
Ps5 will be a bigger success than ps4. Ps4 has direct competition with xbox and were close in sales until the 3rd year. Tons of xbox guys have had it with ms and are going sony. PC gaming is also very expensive and pc gamers are jumping over for those sony exclusives everyone loves. It's only a matter of time before switch fags get tired of port begging and nust swallow the com and buy a ps5.
depends if they think total sales numbers are worth the r&d cost to push more skus
Greatest Hits line up started last year on PS4, it usually starts much earlier in past gens because of lower focus on digital sales
>this delusion
You can also tell in interviews that MS has pretty much given up now. Their disastrous launch wasn't the worst. It was what happened in the last two years when Xbone couldn't even come close to PS4 on Amerifat home turf.
How’s that multiverse working for you? PS4 and Xbox One were close in the first three years? You crazy?
>hmm, which console should i go for? sony's good product, or the other companies' shit products?
>haha, no, sony doesn't get any credit for making the good product that i decided to buy. the shit products are the only ones that count!
Also very important
>the PS4 shipped more than the Switch globally in the last quarter. PS4 sell in was 3.2m in the quarter, Switch was 2.13m
Ps4 will outsell switch for the third year in a row.
>doesnt disprove my point
amazing
Hard to say since they'll release Switch Lite for $200. If PS4 outsells Switch despite that, then Nintendo got some major problems. But I don't think it will happen.
>ps4
>good product
>D-DOESNT COUNT!
amazing how sonyfags can't even disprove my points really tells a tale
The ps3 reached 85 million despite a disastrous start so obviously
Lame excuse. The classification is always added retroactively anyway. Telling that they could only find 40 titles, which include many multi-plats. The PS4 objectively has the fewest quality titles.
worked and seething.
you haven't made any points. you're just desperate to not give any credit to sony for making the best product.
Scared? Good.
The PS3 launched a year late, had worse specs than 360, cost $200 more, had shit all to play first years and still ended up doing decently.
It would take an ASTRONOMIC fuck-up on Sony's part to even get close to the situation they put themselves in with PS3. It cannot happen again. The people who engineered PS3 are gone, for good and bad. The new blood are way more cautious, relying on true and tested parts instead, sold for cheap. We already know PS5 will be Ryzen CPU and Navi GPU. That alone pretty much singlehandedly rules out a PS3 scenario.
Fifa is its best seller, and thats hilarious to me.
All the other 100mil sellers had first party be best sellers, besides ps1 and ps4 lmao
Not true. Best selling game on PS2 was GTA:SA. Best selling game on PS4 is GTAV. So not much changed there.
Cope and seethe. 100 mil proves you wrong.
I love this coping mechanism
>"fifa popular, gta popular so is like other game doesn't exist lol"
Ps2 best sellers were the likes of gta and resident evil.
Wii had no 3rd party, lmao.
Ps3 launched when the economy was going down because of Bush. People werent spending.
Ps4 launched after Obama was repairing that economy and were spending.
Ps5 is going to launch right after the 2020 election and will either sell a bazillion because the economy hasnt crashed yet or will not sell at all because it has crashed (by spring 2020 imo). The tariffs and the Chinese real estate market on the brink of collapse will make this super interesting.
Itll be interesting from an economic standpoint
the switch's best seller is a full-price wii u port. now that's hilarious.
>and still ended up doing decently.
No it didn't. It was a massive financial flop
Switch hasnt sold 100mil, why would you bring this up? Insecure about your purchase?
Not really. It's an amazing first party game
Neither has the PS4.
Do we have Chinese sales figures?
That lift of the console ban might have helped propel sales figures. Switch is also set to release in china soon too.
>’DRUMPF will crash the economy in one year’
Lmao, get fucked, Krugman
>90% of PS4s used primarily as FIFA machines
>’Hurr durr it has great games’
>user almost has another mental breakdown over Sonydomination at work
>Looks down at his "I-It's all Fifa" tattoo
>Suddenly feels better
whatever helps bro
yeah really. it's a $60 port of a 2014 game from the previous console.
>or teh Blueray player of the PS4
PS4 sold as a netflix and FIFA machine, not because of Blu Rays.
PS5 will have nothing to offer outside of those things and since any piece of shit chromebox and laptop can run netflix there will be no reason for normalfags to upgrade.
It's one of the top selling games this gen
cope
I didnt say a word about Trump. Holy shit are you insecure
Ok? Still a full-priced Wii U port.
Well yeah, lots of top sellers get ported, lol
Did you read the thread title? 100mil units have shipped. They’ll all sell.
and it's still a $60 port of a casual racing game with little-to-no meaningful upgrades to make it worth the price tag. and nintendofags have the nerve to use the fifa argument.
>humans population increased 2000% since PS2's launch
>countless boomers who hated vidya have died only to be replaced by zoomers playing shit games en masse
>PS4 barely sells despite all these advantages
how?
If the PS4 with 100m barely sold, the other consoles must be dead in the water
they are
PC is smashing everything
This. Also atleast learning FIFA has dudebro party value. Mario Kart is literal toddler bait.
Are you mad?
You’re right. The answer is mobile gaming. It gobbled up the lion’s share of normies who got into gaming.
thumbnail looks like a whale
what a thriving system lmao
UHHHH PCBROS???? THOUGHT Y'ALL WERE THE MASTER RACE??? LMAO
>Fortnite
>FIFA
>Cowadoody
Damn console fags really do eat literal shit PC ports
The real black pill. Sony is absolutely right to focus on AAA garbage, that’s where all the money is.
correction: PC is smashing everything if you're not a chink or a 12 year old child
How are my fellow Sony bros celebrating? I’ve just booted up Last of Us with a few beers
>roblox
lmao
No, Wall Street and the big banks overleveraging on debt will crash it, just like they always have, every 4-7 years since the 20’s. All Trumps likely to do is push back the crash by a year or so by giving out even cheaper loans and letting the bubble get even bigger and crash harder
>Snoy fags ITT
It outsold the 360.
I would also be looking backwards to the prior gen to find a fun game if I was a Playstation fan
I’m gonna play some Doom
no, i just think the double standards are hilarious. ea should put some mario characters in the next fifa, then it will sell well on switch and you'll all defend it.
Sony has a history of fucking up launch titles by not giving out dev kits early enough, so it depends on how badly xbox fucks up or how slow the next xbox launch is. I'm a sony guy but let's face it, it usually takes a year and a half for a good exclusive and that's usually a Japanese dev, due to favouritism
>b-b-but it didn't get last!
>8billion people on earth
100m really doesn't sound like much though
There were no double standards
user, there was a $500 ps3 and it still had more features than the top model x360 with a longer life span. $400 price range is just the ideal spot for normies thats why sony is sticking with that for next gen.
>league of legends
>fortnite
>world of warcraft
damn, pcfags really do eat whatever tencent and blizzard shit out for them.
20 million of them are probably "shipped to Sony Stores" and just sitting in a warehouse
>casual sports games BAD
>unless they're bing bing wahoo, then casual sports games GOOD
This argument again. You probably still think there is 15 million ps3's sitting out their on shelves waiting to be sold too huh?
Tendies continue to slide this like the shills they are
OH NO NO NO THE STATE OF SWITCH
>100 million suckers worldwide
That's just sad. I bought mine second hand and it's been collecting dust for months.
cope
Of course I'm coping. I wasted money on that garbage too.
>comparing the success of the PS4 to the success of the PS2 or PS1
unironically kill yourself you shit eating retard
It's not a fluke if it happens three times
>switch will never go even a single year as best selling console
Who is he quoting?
the only black pill you're swallowing is semen
Just enjoy the games you fucking apes
imagine being this buttmad. Stay salty, your tears are delicious.
-t.100 MILLION
Better than whatever you'd call the Pii U.
>i-it won't h-happen
>r-right guys?
>I was here 6 years ago saying the PS4 would fail, so I'm pretty good at this
LOOL
And the Vita!
Even the Vita outlasted Pii U kiddo.
Cry more Nintynogames
nintendofags who bbitch about fifa but defend bing bing kart deluxe.
100m CoD, FIFA, Fortnite machines.
And not a single good exclusive over 10m sales.
Embarrassing.
>Greatest Hits
SHow us the Xbox Platinum Hits lineup from the last 3 generatiosn
>MUH FIFA
How many CoD, FIFA, and Fortnite Machines did Microsoft sell? How many LoL, DOTA, and Fortnite Machines were built from PC Parts?
