The PlayStation 4 has surpassed 100 million units sold

Though the dawn of the next console generation is quickly approaching, that isn't stopping the massive sales power of the PlayStation 4 system. After just over 5-and-a-half years, Sony's PlayStation 4 has reached a milestone sales figure: 100 million units sold. The PlayStation 4 now holds the record for being the fastest home console to sell 100 million systems, taking just 5 years and 7 months, as opposed to the previous record-holder, the PlayStation 2, which sold 100 million after 5 years and 9 months. In Sony's recent sales briefing, the company also mentions that digital game sales have overtaken physical sales, with digital game purchase making up just over 50% of PS4 game sales as of June 2019. Given these sales numbers, the PlayStation 4 will likely surpass the Nintendo Wii's sales of 101.63 million sold, and become the 5th best-selling game console of all time.

What do you mean?..The Nintendo Switch hasn’t even began on its heavy hitters yet! We have Luigis Mansion 3, the next Mario kart instalment, Zelda Breath of Wild 2, Bayonetta 3, “Most Probably” another 3D Mario Title etc, etc.. way more fantastic titles to come yet! The Nintendo Switch has only just scratched the surface at this point in time.
tbh i think the switch wont have an esxclusive mario kart, they are ok with mario kart 8 deluxe.

i wouldnt call luigi mansion 3 or bayoneta 3 heavy hitters lol they dont sell that much, any other nintendo ip almost always outsells them, same with metroid prime series they sell ok at best, they dont sell anything significant imo.


for me the heavy hitters are
zelda botw 2
pokemon sword/shield and future pokemon games
maybe a new 3d mario game

this gen i dont see them doing a new mario kart tbh and im hopeful for a second 3d mario game which might not happen and we get a crap 2d one.

look at n64, mario 64 sunshine,3d world, etc, only the wii got 2 3d mario games ever in nintendo history so far so im kinda worry they wont have a second one on this gen too.

If you red my comments properly I was referring to the Xbox one & PS4 being a flop in sales considering the time scale, not the Nintendo Switch.
If you read my comment properly, you'll see that the rate of sales over time between the Switch and PS4 have been almost an exact match.
The Nintendo Switch sales up to date since March 2017 release is incredible I personally think and it’s my opinion, it’s well on track to becoming the best selling console
Could you explain the basis for your opinion? Because according to the article I linked, the Switch has sold the same amount in the first two years as the PS4 did.
and we haven’t even seen a revision yet! The PS4 had not even been out literally 2 years before the Pro was released
The PS4 released on November 13, 2013. The PS4 Pro released on November 10, 2016. That's 3 years - "not even 2 years"?
Amusingly, the Switch launched on March 3, 2017 and the Switch Lite is coming out on September 20, 2019 - that's about 2 and a half years. So the Switch is actually getting a revision before the PS4 did.

I don't think your comment contained a single piece of correct information. Everything you said in your "opinion" is wrong. Stop spreading misinformation.

Mario Kart 9 probably wont happen.
Another 3D mario, maybe, maybe.

being honest here the switch revision is more akin to the ps4 1tb and 2tb models than pro since it doesnt improve in any area its just smaller and with less features, so yeah not a revision for me, a revision needs to improve not stay the same and loose funcionalitys, i dont recall anyone calling wiis without gc ports revisions, they are just another model of the same, just like xbox one s, ps3 slim and so on.

revisions is stuff like DSi,new3ds,ps4 pro,xbox one X.

I'd argue that of the ones you mentioned, BotW 2 is the only heavy hitter, not counting another 3d Mario since there's no word on that.

Your getting far too carried away, calm yourself! It’s just an opinion, it’s not necessarily perfect spot on information because at the time I commented it was of the top of my head ok, not researched or googled. I’m only going on information I know so please don’t shoot me but what I am saying is all the information is not totally incorrect, just maybe a little bit out.

iphones are not recongized as gaming devices lol, they are for the most people just smartphones, only kids plays afew crap games there, becuase if you want to include multiporpose devices there are alot more pcs since ever and they play much better games and selection of them lol.

Please read my post and the post I was replying to next time.
Id say the playstation is probably the most successful brand name

He mentioned brand name not gaming device.
don't be stupid the iphone isn't for gaming! candycrush and the rest of them shitty micro$ sucking apps don't count as real games! only PC, sony, mic and nintendo systems are counted. with xbox being at the bottom :lol:

It sounds exactly like a PS4 slim to me then, released at the same time.

I get it that I was particularly frustrated replying to your comment but in my defence you had literally just overlooked a link in my two-line comment that would have made all of this unnecessary.

I use an Xbox one for the sole reason of Xbox Exclusives (Simulators as Microsoft owns a lot) The new MSFS game may boost the sales of the new Xbox

Do you guys feel ps5 will win or the new Xbox will be more "mainstream" this time? I had no interest in buying a Xbox one this generation.

Fuck off with its claims digital sells more than physical.

What sony will be doing i bet is including psn across all its platforms and downloads that have been free.

Nice try cunts trying to push digital is the way forward.

Prime example that its not, who still enjoys playing the PT demo.... ohh yes you owned the rights to play it even after it was pulled, but sony ensured you couldnt play it after a while it would not work, and you couldnt re download it.
Was it Sony or Konami that decided to not allow you to download it, it's their ip, and it's a game they don't intend to sell.
