  Wow, it’s been five years. I wonder how much time did it take for ps4 to beat ps3.

    Undoubtedly faster but not as useful of a metric as units sold IMO just because centrality of online gaming now compared to back then. For instance, I don’t think there was a single free online game back then Whereas now you have a few pretty major titles that are free to play even without an online subscription.

      I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS3. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.
