The PlayStation brand was registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling home console in history.
Among the latest game news, we learned that PlayStation’s name was registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as “the best-selling brand of home game consoles in history.” This isn’t too surprising given that the PlayStation 2 is the best-selling home console of all time and the PlayStation 1 did so well. If we consider the success of PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, practically no other brand has the ability to compete with Sony in this field.
The first PlayStation console managed to sell more than 100 million units worldwide after a decade after its release in 1994; While the sale of the PlayStation 2 console reached 155 million units by the end of 2012. Meanwhile, the PlayStation 3 console sold 87.4 million units until the end of March 2017, and the PlayStation 4 console sold 117.2 million units until April 11, 1401 (March 31, 2022).
Sony also performed very well in the field of selling handheld consoles. The PSP console sold 80 million units by the end of November 2013, and the sale of the PlayStation Vita console is estimated between 15 and 16 million units; However, Sony never officially announced the sales figures of this handheld console.
