PS4 is 117M lifetime, PS3 is 87M lifetime, PS2 is 155M lifetime.
40M sits between the N64 lifetime and SNES lifetime sales. Keep in mind, as time progresses, the gaming market is bigger, so direct comparisons cant be done. Its only the 3rd year for the PS5, so it hasnt hit its half way point in its projected timeline.
Also, the PS2/3/4 all had hardware revisions, then the 4 had a Pro model. The PS5 will inevitably do the same eventually, and get a boost in sales numbers for it.
is 40 million a good number for consoles? How does it compare to the older gens like PS2/PS3/PS4?

IDK, the gaming market is bigger sure, but so are the alternatives to PlayStation. Mobile is huge.
PS4 also sold 40M units by it’s third year.
Making this all the more impressive with shortages relating to covid.
