Above all, the expectations of the Playstation 5 are high, because all previous consoles have been selling extremely well so far. The Playstation 2 was released in Japan on March 4, 2000. 21 years later, with 155 million units sold, it is still the best-selling game console of all time. Playstation 4 is in second place (116.4 million units sold). And also in third place is a Sony console: The very first Playstation was sold over 102 million times. Only Nintendo’s Wii has been able to compete with the sales figures of the Playstation in recent years and occupies fourth place in the ranking with around 102 million units sold.
