I think the PS4's sales aren't anything special, Considering the huge sales we keep hearing about, those numbers are kinda average. Everything else did bad so its making the PS4's sales look better than they actually are.

Nice downplay, but it applies to anything, for example, titanfall sales won't be as impressive they only seem so because other games did badly, the forums aren't that big they just seem that way because lots of others are smaller.

 

I'll be sure to look forward to you calling any successful result in future for your favored platform unimpressive and just a result of the competition doing badly.

I'm not downplaying anything. I just don't think 271k sales is good for a console as hyped as the PS4. I suppose for some of January it was out of stock so it would have certainly crossed 300k had it been stock for the whole of January but that's not so great either since in December we heard many people claiming how much higher the PS4 would have been had it been in stock. Some people made statements that the PS4 could have sold twice as much had it had enough stock in NA. Well now its in stock and  its sales aren't that impressive.
