Why are people saying that these numbers are bad? You guys really have short memories.

I think it's because we were teased with record breaking numbers earlier.

So most people expected the trend to continue.

But both PS4/X1 HAVE broken records. For their first years, both have SHATTERED what their predecessors did.

There are twice as many combined at this point than PS360 comparatively.

Not sure what you're getting at.

Yes but they're slowing down.

Some people probably expected them to continue selling at an abnormally high rate.

After rechecking the previous gen sales, they're doing fine. Sales do dip at this time every year.

Yeah, but they ALWAYS slow down this time of year. Dip in sales is a combination of annual summer doldrums and a lack of must-have titles, which happens the first year of every new console. And yeah, compared to previous gen hardware sales over their first year, yeah.....they're doing just fine. September-March is gonna be NUTS, and those sales will skyrocket- mark my words. 

I agree, I think some people expected 800k worldwide monthly sales without change, while the rest of us understand how sales cycles in the console industry work, and are bemused by the annual summer cries of doom.
