Pocket-Lint: Launched four-and-a-half years ago, the Sony PlayStation 3 has now exceeded the 50 million sales mark, shifting its landmark unit at the end of last month. And PlayStation Move has recently surpassed 8 million sales worldwide.
In an interview in the December issue of Edge Magazine, Ryan admitted that the transition from the PS3 to the PS4 was rather abrupt.
Sony says that above 4000 PlayStation 4 games on the market will be backward compatible with the impending PlayStation 5 of the company.
TK: There are a lot of awesome things that the PS4 can do that we were unable to do on the PS3. We are excited to reveal some secrets that not all fans may know of.
I don't think the author told us any thing usefull other then how we can use it remotely - which everyone knows. Meh.
Consoles stopped being just games consoles once they started using CDs as a medium.
Now they are multi-faceted entertainment centres and lacking something like DLNA when it's predecessor had it for as long as I can remember is pretty crap in my opinion.

I'll tell you what's pathetic, having the functionality to pause downloads introduced a YEAR after the console launched.
For all the bells and whistles the PS4 has, missing common functionality is where it simply isn't better.
Ps3 for LIFE! Ps4 does look good but there are not really a lot of games i really want to play on ps4 but there isn't any point to start over but it would be pretty cool to get for a wishlist.They should support Ps3 utill 2025 not 2015.
You want them to support a console for almost 20 years after it's release? Really?
Is this article going to be followed up with a "5 things the PS3 can do better than the PS4"?...
I expected it to take a lot longer than it did after the slow launch that it endured.
Good to see the ps3 doing so well.
The PS3 is at 50m, the X360 is at 55m (or something) and the Wii's at 84m. This is like the first gen ever where all the consoles in it are doing mighty fine. Who ever thought that 6 consoles could coexist together? (PS2, PsP, PS3, X360, DS, Wii)
Sold to retailer, as in, shipped
no matter how well ps3 sells, its still seen as the inferior console.
