PS4 has continued to do well for a home console and it has finally outsold Nintendo Wii and PS1 after the latest shipment figure was shared by Sony. According to their Q2 FY2019 fiscal result, Sony has shipped 2.8 million units of PS4 which brings the worldwide total shipment to 102.8 million. This is ahead of the PS1 at 102.49 million and Nintendo Wii at 101.63 million.
PlayStation 4 now has sold more than one billion software which is only second to the PlayStation 2. It also ranks second-best in the all-time list for software sales. It will be hard for the PlayStation 4 to top the record set by PlayStation 2 because it will need to keep selling well for years to achieve this feat. PS2 still holds the record for the highest-selling console of all time and has shipped more than 150 million units worldwide.
