Sales go down in April, that is normal, are you really trying to say that PS fans/Sony should worry for the PS4 because it 'only' sold 199k in its first April?

That is what I would call petty

What I am saying is that low sales is low sales and if the only thing that makes you sleep well at night is that the competition sold worst then yes, its petty.  

If the PS4 sales 100k and the X1 75 would you still be thumping your chest that the PS4 sold better than the X1 all but ignoring the drop from month to month.

The difference being that 200k is not particularly low for a first April, especially with no real games releasing.

And the month over month drop is normal, this happens every year. The PS4 is not a huge casual success like the Wii was, it won't defy the normal seasonal trends. Are we supposed to be mopey every spring/summer because sales go down?

If people want to thump their chest because their favourite console did best in the month then let them, after all that is one of the main reasons this site even exists: people want to know what sells best.

Drops are normal, Being the king of the lowest drop and finding some type of happniess over it is what is the problem.  If people want to be proud of a low week then its all good but don't cry when others call them out of being the best of nothing.  Fanboys never want to know who sells best if its not their product of choice.
