How are those PS4 sales in a historical context? (Just a rough good or bad?)

Wii U makes anything look good.

In 2008 when the PS3 was 399$ and available in both America and Europe, it did like 163k the same time in its 3rd week of January. It also seen a decrease each week in sales after the holidays until after its 3rd week of January.

 

It's a bit unfair because PS3 was also released in japan at the time and it had over a years worth of games in its library at the time but it's the best comparison that can be made. PS4 is doing very good and will level right here at around 145-150k each week from here on out(without Japan)

PS3 had more games at the time.  If we look launches aligned:

13th Jan 2007

PS3

89,482

14th Jan 2006

X360

146,519

PS4 is the new 360.  XB1 is the new PS3.
