Best Selling PlayStation Consoles 1995 - 2020

This visualization shows the sales performance of each PlayStation console starting from the original PlayStation up to August 2020. I sped up the first few years up as not to bore you. Although PSP performed really well and PS Vita was an excellent update it competed directly with smartphones which were becoming faster and more capable every year. The target market for the PS Vita could only afford either a smartphone or handheld console, so the smartphone won every time. PlayStation 2 was a massive hit and set their turf before the launch of Xbox.

Hard to believe the PS1 was out and sold for 12 years. 1994-2006

Remember that PS2 was a DVD player when the technology was brand new. Millions of japanese households purchased one solely to play DVDs, and many gamers were also won over for that feature. Also beating nintendo and microsoft to the punch, the system launch was phenomenal

The gaming market is much bigger now but PS2 is still on top, thats how popular it was

My brother got his PlayStation 2 in 2001 and I still have it and play a couple games on it almost daily to this day. It works amazingly and I’m definitely impressed. Truly a timeless console.

I can’t believe that the PlayStation 2 STILL beats the PlayStation 4! That thing doesn’t want to die!

PS2 falls off coffee table “I’m good bro!”
XBox 360 falls off coffee table “Red ring of death!”

Ps2 for me is the greatest gift I ever received even tho it's already used by my cousins, I still remember how happy was I at that moment compared to when I bought a PlayStation 3&4, xbox. It wasn't just as happy as I received the ps2.

PS2 🐐
