Quite disappointing.

Shitty numbers for everything, except Vita since it had little to no expectations

I really don't know how these are shitty number for the PS4. If it sold 185k in just one territory in what is usually a slow month and sold around the same/more in all of europe then it is avaraging around 400k-500k worldwide. I really can't imagine how that is a bad thing.

It sold 199k last month with little to no new software. This month it had MLB, Wolfenstein and Watch Dogs and it somehow sold less?

That's terrible.

It would be terrible if this was a holiday month.  However, we're heading into the slowest time of the month, the summer.  I mean, just look at how the One was doing for the first few months of the year, compared to how it is doing, now.  It barely outsold the 360.  The PS4, on the other hand, only sold ~20K less than the 360 did during May of '06.  That's pretty damn good when you consider that the 360 was $100 less than the PS4, and was on the market without any competition from the PS3 and Wii, as they hadn't released, yet.  No, the PS4 is doing quite fine.  The other two, that's another story.
