PS4 is the fastest selling ANYTHING of all time

So what you're saying is SONY is the TRUE by gamers FOR gamers company? I wholeheartedly agree.

I'd like to take this time to give a big shout out to SONY for everything they've done for us this gen. It's been nothing short of amazing thus far.

For a console, yeah, PS4 is the best.

Generally, PC is considered to be best for gaming.

Impressive. But do these PS4 owners have any games to play? You know... The whole point to a gaming console?

Yea....no, TC. Not even close.

The iPhone 5s and 5c sold 9 million in its first 3 days. This thread is bad.

I did some research, and the PlayStation 4 is the fastest selling anything released, ever. No other consumer electronic has ever sold faster than the PlayStation 4 has*. This includes not only other consoles, such as the Wii and PS2, or handhelds such as the Nintendo DS, but also highly regarded and amazing selling consumer electronic devices such as iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The PlayStation 4 is beating everything.

For comparison's sake, I will be comparing the sales of all these products five months into their release (which is where the PlayStation 4 currently stands). The results are truly amazing:

• iPod: (0.12 million units sold worldwide six months after launch)
• iPhone: 1.46 million units sold worldwide six months after launch)
• iPad: (6.21 million units sold worldwide five months after launch)
• PlayStation 2: (2.51 million units sold worldwide five months after launch)**
• Wii: (6.62 million units sold worldwide after launch)
• Nintendo DS: (4.76 million units sold worldwide after launch)

Before we proceed, here are several caveats:

• Where possible, I tried to use exact comparisons. Since five months is such an odd unit (companies report in units of three) in many cases, it became impossible to gain an accurate picture by using quarterly reports; in that case, total cumulative sales at the end of the nearest quarter since launch were taken, divided by the total number of months since launch, and then multiplied by 5 (such as for Wii, sales at the end of its third quarter {the first finished quarter after its fifth month on the market} were 9.27 million. 9.27/7*5=6.62 million)
• For a lot of these products, the launches were staggered (such as for the PS2). In this case, the date of the earliest launch was treated as the product launch.

Given all of this, it's amazing the rate at which the PS4 is selling- seven million in just five months is a lot! It's more than any other system, any other stand alone consumer electronic product, has ever achieved!

Take a bow, Sony. You deserve your success this time around. You really, truly do.

* Peripherals, accessories, and software bundles may have sold faster, but they don't count- for instance, an argument can be made that the Kinect (w/ Kinect Adventures), Wii Balance Board (w/ Wii Fit), and Wii Wheel (w/ Mario Kart Wii) may have sold faster, but as they are supplements to existing products, and not standalone products, they are not comparable.

** The PlayStation 2 had only launched in Japan at the end of this period.

Must be the greatest thing ever. Sales equal quality.

The PS4 is a completely different product, different hardware, different software, different everything. The iPhone 5S runs the same hardware and software as iPhone 5. You are arguing that the PS3, the PS3 Slim, and the PS3 Super Slim were different products. Or that the Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, and Gameboy Color were different products. They weren't.

its obviously a typo you douchebag

nerd grammar Nazi's, what would life be like without them

Sorry but you can't play that off.. That was no typo, you just didn't know how to spell it.

From now on, whenever I see you post, I'm going to reply with "handburger" just to mock you.

Now go sit down, you ignorant fool.

Oh, come on.

Where is my 2005-2008 Ty and what have you done with him!?

Do they have anymore buildings left?

It's not spin, it's plain and simple fact. Software that runs on an iPhone 5S runs on an iPhone 4. Software that runs on a DSi runs on a DS. Software that runs on a Gameboy Color runs on a Gameboy. Software that runs on a PS4 does not in any circumstances run on a PS3.

I keep seeing stuff like this thrown around but..

1. Best selling console on the market.

2. Best console hardware on the market.

3. Easy to develop for.

4. Sony has excellent 3rd party relations.

Both the PS4 and X1 have shit for libraries right now. Makes sense, they haven't even seen their first year yet.

But if you have any doubts that the PS4 will have a very strong library (if not the best library of the bunch) then you'd best prepare dat ass.
