| Panicradio said: Some people say that if you deduct the DVD function from the success of the PS2, the success of the PS4 would be higher than that of the PS2. So even if the PS4 doesn't reach 155 million units, the success of the PS4 alone could be more valuable as a standalone console. I think there's something real about it. |
Nonsense.
What you can do to say PS4 was more successful than PS2 would be either look at total SW sold (if it cross 1.5B) or profit because PS4 sold for profit on each unit like ever since 2015 while PS2 always sold for loss or break even, and PS4 also had good profits from PSN and more 1st party titles sold.
Would be as simple as looking at the financial, and I done it, PS4 really brought much more money to Sony than PS2. Still PS2 sold much more and that won't change for this gen at least.
