The PlayStation 4 is the most popular game console in the world

Sony’s just passed 40 million PlayStation 4 consoles sold since launch in November 2013.

That makes PlayStation 4 the top-selling game console in the world at the moment, over Microsoft’s Xbox One (~21 million) and Nintendo’s Wii U (~13 million).

About one-tenth of those owners are new owners, as of the past few months: Sony sold just over 4 million PlayStation 4 consoles between early January 2016 and May 22, 2016.

This isn’t a new position for Sony’s PlayStation 4 — the console has been on top (in terms of sales) since it launched, more or less.

There’s been the occasional blip, with Xbox One outselling PlayStation 4 here and there, but the PS4 has largely dominated sales (and the attention of millions) since it first launched in November 2013.

With Sony’s PlayStation VR headset launching this fall, and great-looking, highly-anticipated games like “The Last Guardian” launching on the PlayStation 4 this year, it’s unlikely that Sony will lose its pole position anytime soon.
