As an authentic Irish-man with an authentic JR Ewing avatar, it is my pleasure to post that PlayStation is the worlds best-selling home console brand at over 450 million units.

Happy 25 years of PlayStation!
I’ve got Xbox sitting at near 200 mil. Sure it’s a ways back from Sony, but with thier time in the market and some of their own self inflicted wounds, it’s not really that terrible.Legit, accomplishment will be reached by ...none, congrats!
..damn Xbox sitting at 449mill, just a lil short

Ahh if only Nintendo played nice way back when.
I say that as a hardcore Nintendo fan
It took me until the Wii to fall out of love with Nintendo but I can definitely see what you mean by PlayStation continuing on from the SNES...As a (former hardcore) fan of both I'm glad things happened the way they did to be honest. The PlayStation always felt like the "true successor" to the Super NES to me.
The focus on the US market is why they keep underperfoming compared to Sony and Nintendo. Even the 360, the company's biggest success as far as gaming is concerned ended up selling the least out of the three main 7th gen consoles. That should tell them something, but instead they keep focusing on the same core crowd even more, it's just bizarre at this point... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯I wa just cracking a joke as usual, but none the less yea, not too shabby at all where most focus and selling point is here in the states

You're also understating it.200 million? You are way off.
Original Xbox sold around 25-27 million
X360 around 85-92
Xbox One.is lucky if it is at 50 million.
That number is closer to 150 to be fair.
Funny that Sony's biggest flop in home console is the same as Xbox's greatest hits.
They aren't even close.
Damn you Sony for even attempting to entertain us!totally undeserved. overhyped crap console and "cinematic" boring ass games
As long as consoles and discs keep selling I'm happy.... no matter who is on the box...You're also understating it.
170M is about what they're at, which after 3 generstions is pretty damned good.
Compare that to Nintendo, where the NES, SNES and N64 totalled about 145M, and they're actually doing brilliantly.
You can thank Peter Moore for pulling the plug on the Dreamcast...Only because SEGA gave up too early

I mean, post SNES Nintendo's major hardware success has been largely handhelds not consoles. The Wii was there only major hit compared to Playstation until the Switch, and even it's a hybrid that now has a handheld only version.Nintendo been around a lot longer and they got them beat. How far behind is Nintendo? Lol

Actually comparing the same generations directly, even with the Wii and two 8th gen systems, Nintendo only had about 180M sales.
Xbox might, quite deservedly, get a lot of shit, but they really are at least as legitimately a gaming powerhouse as Nintendo is in the console space.

It was only around 33 million lifetime.I thought the N64 was a hit too.
