PlayStation 4: Updated sales and market share

As of November 2019 and according to official data, PlayStation 4 already has exceeded 102 million units sold throughout the world, which places it in a kingdom that only privileged people can access. PS4 does not scale on the top selling best consoles of all time, but it has already surpassed great successes like Wii (101 million) to be placed in the top 5 of best-selling consoles. It is the third Sony console that manages to exceed 100 million units, after PlayStation 2 and PlayStation.

PS4 is the desktop console that has more quickly reached 100 million consoles (surpassing Wii and PS2). Its life cycle in the market, about six years, is still a success and its relay is expected by the end of 2020, when PS5 will presumably arrive in stores. However, this does not mean that Sony will stop supporting PS4 for a few more years. Do youPS4 will reach 157.68 million PS2 (VGChartz data) when its life cycle ends?

Microsoft console It is approximately halfway of the company's most successful hardware sales, Xbox 360 (85.80 million) and well above the first system with which they premiered in the video game industry back in 2002, Xbox (24.65 million).

Microsoft has failed to compete from you to you with PS4, which has been intractable in sales since its launch. Although far from the tremendous success of Xbox 360, Xbox One has managed to place in the top 15 best-selling consoles of all time. In 2020 -when everything indicates Nintendo Switch will have managed to overcome it in sales- will take over Project Scarlett, the code name of the new Microsoft console.

Switch Lite has already sold 1.95 million units separately from the total.

Given the pace of sales of Nintendo Switch, which is in the middle of its cycle, it is not unreasonable to think that can exceed total Xbox One sales (43.6 million) in a matter of months.
