Not impressive? Maybe from one point of view, only taking software sales into consideration, but if you go back to the PS2 launch and the years following, the world was a very different place, and there were way less products in general, plus not as many worthy of spending your money on instead of games. In today's world, there are so many more products, especially electronic, gaming or not, with such high quality in comparison to the past, that it's pretty impressive PS4 has sold as many games as it has and will continue to, based on selling considerably less units than PS2 so far.
