Should be pretty easy for PS5 to pass the Wii & PS1. I do hope it even surpasses PS4, but I could see it missing that mark (and maybe even the Game Boy, especially since it's still possible the PS4 will not surpass it). The PS5 is off to a good start so far, even with shortages. It's nice to see all 3 consoles performing well!

The PS4 sits at 115.9M, as of March. It only needs 2.8M to pass the Game Boy. You honestly don't think it will pull that off in the next year or two that it's still on the market?

The way the PS4 is selling now?

The PS4 is selling only marginally better than the PS3 did in 2015 when the PS4 was already out for over a year. That year, the PS3 sold 1.6M and sold less than 1M from there. Oh, and the PS3 already had almost one million sold at this time in 2015.

Long story short, the PS4 sales are dropping too fast and will be happy if it can even sell 2 more millions from here.

Oh, and if you don't believe the sales are dropping so fast, consider this:

January 2021 PS4 mean weekly sales: 60k

February: 50k

March: 45k

April: 40k

May: 32k

June: ~28k
