Forums - Sales - PS4 total sales has surpassed 3DS numbers

KBG29 on 29 December 2017

One more down, Nine more to go. Sony is doing an awesome job playing to the core, while continuing to expand to new and casual markets. Hope they continue to expand the capabilities of the PS4, while delivering the best games on the market. Give us a PS4 Premium, PS4 Super Slim, and a PS4 Portable in 2019, and PS4 should pass the PS2 around 2022, just in time for the PS5 to blow everybody away with full blown next gen worthy tech.

Exciting times to be a gamer.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I find that Nintendo owns the handheld market. It's definitely no slouch. Got one for each of the kids this Christmas while we also got new PS4 games.

Perfect example right here, folks! 3DS has the benefit that the PS4 really doesn't have. Price and the fact it is so small there can literally be 4-5 per household depending on how many people live there and want one. No comparison yet the PS4 STILL miraculously tops it - now THAT is something!

Beating the 3ds is even more impressive when you think of it like that. Today is historic as ps4 just cemented sony as the Victors of the 8th generation of consoles. Congrats Sony, congrats ps4 and congrats everybody who bought it.

 

Sony wins this gen. But it's sights are set much higher. Ps3, 360 and pap are next. Then it will target the ps1 and Wii. I have no doubt it beats them all.

everybody knew this was to happen this year, and with one month to spare.

I know it seems obvious but I've seen many people dispute this. 

It's not as simple as "the next system a company releases belongs to the next collective generation". Because it is technically possible to re-enter the same generation again with a new system, if you so chose. Neo-Geo for example released a second Gen 4 system that was CD based, four years down the line, but it was meant to be a Gen 4 system with the same games. So what defines it in such cases? It's not necessarily an increase in power, because Pro and XB1X are Gen 8 systems currently. I'd say the games a system gets does. If the majority of the games a system gets belongs to say Generation 3, its a Generation 3 system.

But if there's another simple definition that works in both scenarios, I'm all ears to hear it.

Before it had a lot to do with the type of processors used... but I agree with you that for consoles and HH the generation could be defined by the library.

Several around 2014 were decreating that and how much lower than 7th gen this would be to prove it, while ignoring that Wii sales basically shouldn't be accounted... but would be a small increase from PS2+GC+X to PS3+X360 to PS4+X1 (and if Switch keep selling to core gamers the increase can be even bigger).
