This is an example of why counting and comparing units sold is not really very useful. The PS3 was a colossal failure. It lost a ton of money and damaged their brand. It just so happens that 80m was about the floor for a PlayStation home console at that point. They couldn’t really have done much worse and a late gen minor renaissance didn’t change much, except get onto better footing for the PS4 gen.
