I wish I could say it's the best, but the PS2 is the best one for me still.
was it the games that made it amazing or the console itself?

The dual sense for example is just so flipping fantastic to me.

50M in a little over 3 years even with the shortage. That’s great. I wonder if they’ll hit 100M by 2026, especially with PS5 Pro rumored to launch next year.

The games. I don't play the console in isolation, and I spent more time on PS2 than any other console before or since.

Might not be long till 60 million and that is about half way to PS4 numbers.

If they want to outpace PS4, they really need to hit 70 million by the end of 2024 fye.

I'd still put PS2, PS3 and PS4 above PS5 due to game releases and exclusive games so far but it could change if they improve a few things and stop doing ports to pc.

Still having a great time with it and wouldn't game anywhere else though.

Sony press release

December 9, 2023.
Basically missing at least 2/3 of December sales including the boost in Christmas.
Probably will be around 53-54 million at end of 2023.
In shipment terms over 55 million easily.

"We are still pushing really hard and I think we will have a record-breaking year no matter where we end up," Lempel said.
This looks like the PR way of saying : we don't think we're going to hit that 25M FY target we had set.
Like he says, it's still a metric ton of consoles moved, but that number was always very ambitious to begin with.

They didn't discount that much during November and December is/was not that aggressive ( compared to let say Xbox ) so they're not sacrificing margins just to try and hit it. At the end of the day, it's just a target.
