Let's put that "selling more than 8 year old consoles" point into perspective, shall we?
We're talking about consoles (PS360) that peaked much later in their life due to high launch prices, consoles that are now mass market prices with extensive libraries of games, and consoles that just had the single biggest entertainment product release (GTAV) in history revenue wise (not to mention sales monsters like COD every year).
When you consider that, a console less than a year old with a relatively tiny selection of games that is still the most expensive gaming console on the market beating systems with that kind of appeal is certainly noteworthy.

i'll just point towards the fact how Wii and PS360 were trashing PS2 in its 8th year.

Zorg already admirably addressed your point. By the end of the PS2's 7th year it had already sold over 120m units. The PS360 were somewhat late bloomers regarding sales. They were intended to sustain the longest generation the industry has ever seen. As a perfect example I'll answer your post above with this: The PS2 wasn't receiving games the caliber of GTAV in its 8th year.

Thats a pretty cheap excuse. And PS2 was getting popualr games in its late years (just not as popular as GTA) like GOW 2. And PS360 together sold 160m so i'd say thats pretty impressive.
And you're yet to adress the fact Wii as trouncing the PS2 in 2007 and 08
