I strongly doubt we can in way way compare a handheld to a home console, especially when the nature of handhelds sales are very different to that of home consoles. And I don't think there are may if at all way other home consoles that has accomplished the same feat. Except maybe the Wii? Not sure about that one..... |
Looking at just home consoles
Wii was at 94.97 million shipments at the end of 2011 (5 years, 1 month) so essentially tied with PS4. PS4 will pass Wii and never look back soon.
PS2 is a bit tricky since it had a staggered launch but it was 100 million as of Nov 30 2005, 5 years after western launch and 5 years, 8 months after Japanese launch. If we align regional launches than it's also probably pretty close.
PS2, Wii & PS4 all shipped ~95 million in ~5 years.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
