Sony have recently revealed that 5.3 million PS4’s have been sold since its launch in November. This means the PS4 is selling way better than its predecessors the PS3, PS2 and PS1. A user on NeoGaf called Aquamarine posted the data online and gave us a good look at just how much the PS4 is dominating its siblings. Make the jump to find out more.

The data speaks for itself but as you can see the PS4 is way ahead of its older siblings and if it keeps selling this well then it may even win the console war against Microsoft. Of course the PS4 needs to continue selling units but what with great upcoming exclusives like inFAMOUS: Second Son and The Order 1886, gamers sure are going to be tempted to pick up their own PS4.
