Sales and quality aren't one and the same.

DS sold more than PS4; would you consider DS the better system? It would be a legitimate opinion if you did, but a lot of folks I feel would argue for PS4 in that case despite it selling less, just like a lot of people would argue for PS3/360 over Wii despite the latter winning in sales.

Consoles that sell 100 million plus typically do so by selling very well to a more mainstream/casual audience; this is an enthusiast forum so naturally a poll here will be unlikely to reflect real world popularity.

We're talking 100 million difference here and the obvious huge library difference also. PS3/360 sold a little less than Wii and the libraries are very similar. DS sold 40 million more than PS4 and you can argue it's better than PS4 with it's massive library and many quality of innovative games. Have you even looked at the sheer amount of quality 3rd party games on PS4 compared to the GC? Elden Ring, red dead redemption 2, nier automata, witcher 3 to cyberpunk to games like Hogwarts. Like come on, it's not even close

A difference of 14-16 million consoles isn't a "little less", that's a pretty clear margin of victory. And it still sold more; do you consider the Wii to be better than the PS3/360?

For some people, games like say Timesplitters, Viewtiful Joe, Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia, Prince of Persia, Skies of Arcadia, etc are better than Elden Ring or Witcher 3.
