Sony Interactive Entertainment at the end of July 2019 announced it had shipped 100 million PlayStation 4 consoles in its lifetime as of June 30, 2019. Two and a half months later Sony's eighth generation home console, the PlayStation 4, has now sold over 100 million units to consumers, according to VGChartz estimates.
The PlayStation 4 reached the milestone for the week ending September 14, 2019. The console sold 221,443 units to bring its lifetime sales to 100,062,220 units.

Just for comparison, how many PS2s did they sell?
-
if i remember correctly, they sold about 140 to 145 millions of ps2 lifetime worldwide.
I couldn't find the chart for it from vgchartz.com but for this generation, the ps4 has sold slightly over 100 million units. Here is a pic chart of it:

145 million seems low for the PS2. Considering how long that was out. 12 years I think? But in all fairness, they still make the PS3 and that came out in 2006.
-
153 million PS2s sold. That's a lot! Given the trends of manufacturing ending when the next gen is released, the PS3 will probably end late this year or early next year.
