Here is a chart which shows annual hardware sell through for the PlayStation 4.

As you can see, 2017 is currently the peak year for PlayStation 4 sales. This is due to continued sell through of PS4 at lower price points and additional sales of PS4 Pro. pic.twitter.com/R2tSxisPoZ

20 million in a single year is amazing, congrats to Sony. When was the last time a console did 20+ million  in a single year?

 Will be interesting to see if it sells more this year.

Wii in 2009, 2008

PS2 in 2002 and 2003.

PS1 in 1998.

Both PS consoles are actually the FY numbers, since VGC doesn't have the tracking. Anyway, it's not usual at all. If we consider handhelds, the DS did if for 4 or 5 years. But that's pretty much it.
