To think there was serious discussion at one point about it catching up to DS/PS2.

I remember reading that after the PS4 Pro launched that 1 in every 5 PS4's sold was the Pro, and that 40% of those Pro sales were people who already owned PS4's upgrading to the shinier model.  They would have needed a lot more PS4 owners to swap out their already purchased consoles to the Pro model to inflate the lifetime sales high enough to reach the PS2.  I don't think that was ever realistically on the table.

I think just about all of us also expected PS4 to have much better legs than it ultimately did post-2019.

Granted, I never thought it could challenge PS2/DS but I did expect it to land somewhere in the 130-140 million range, prior to 2020.
