Healthy consoles tend to do 250k+ a month really. PS4 is doing solid numbers but as the leading console it's not *that* impressive. Though, it's still alaunch console so it can be forgiven. Next year will be a better indicator.

The 360 sold less than 250k per month for six months in 2006, and two of those months it sold below 200k. And it was the only seventh-gen system on the market.

The 360 didn't peak till it's 6th year as well, it behaved very uncharacteristically. Hard to compare, and selling healthy usually means 4mil minimum in the US market. Dominant consoles tend to sell north of 7m. Wii managed that in its first year, doubt any console will do that, but both XBone and PS4 will have a shot at 4m+
