Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4 sells through 106 million, Over 1.15 BILLION Games Sold!

1,15 billion games sold through on the PS4 is crazy, after what? 6years (and a month or two).

To compair, Switch is sitting at 247 million games, after 3years.

Yeah the PS4 is an absolute software beast. 1.15 billion software is nuts.

Though a more reasonable comparison would be to compare with a better scope of time :P 

PS4 at 39 months (best comparable I could find) had 401M software sales. Switch will not top that, but it's currently at 247M after 31 months and will likely be somewhere in the 350M range at 39 months

PS4 is a monster and PS5 has a chance to dethrone both PS4 and PS2!

No console will sell more than PS2. The PS2 sold so well due to the large number of third party exclusive games it had. If you wanted to play a game, even a third party game, you had no other option but PS2. Now third party exclusivity is very rare, when it happens it is timed exclusivity (usually 1 year). Also it was the cheapest dvd player on the market. But now streaming is becoming more popular than buying movies in Blu-ray.

Sony stopped producing games in 2015

Sony stopped producing carts in 2018

Sony cut off life support for the Vita early 2019 in Japan.

Remember that before the PS4, only the PS2 in the history of consoles had exceeded one billion in game sales.

Nah, NDS did:

Wii did:

PS1 did 962M, PS2 did 1537M and PS3 did more than 999M (really weird number, who knows, maybe it surpassed the billion too):

I can't find X360 numbers but probably was close to 1B games sold too.

To say no console ever will is wrong. It is a really high bar to cross but not impossible. As it stands, the hypothetical switch 2 has the best chances to do so out of consoles coming in the near future.
