PS3 sold 14.3m units in its peak year (2011).

PS4 is at 12.9m at the moment, with 3 more weeks to go. It should easily sell the extra 1.4m and surpass PS3's peak year in its first year on the market.

Amazing feat, considering PS3 was $249, had a slim model and was a mature console with hundreds of successful games. The PS4 will still sell more with much less going for it.

So PS4 peaked early.

It'll be interesting to see how much the PS4 will sell in its peak year. But that probably won't happen until year three.

PS4 still has much room to grow too. Exciting times ahead for sure.

B, but consoles are dead, right ?

To be honest I would somewhat agree with this statement. I mean PS4 was a rather cheap console from launch and the library was fairly impressive, I mean sure all these big games were poorly recieved but it didnt stop them from selling and selling hardware.

China and Japan still haven't had their fill yet either. Japanese game support is just getting started next year.

i'm so happy about this, i'm really enjoying my ps4 right now. my only fear is that it's extremely front loaded, but i doubt that's the case.

well you couldn't possibly know that but suuuuuuuuure

judging by every PS (home) console ever I wouldn't think that.  It's probably also sold more after its second holiday (by Jan. 1 2015) than what PS3 did after its 3rd holiday (by Jan. 1 2008).
