PS4 isn't even doing good anymore, it's simply doing better than the competition (barring 3DS). 3DS and PS4 are average, okay. Maybe even a bit under.

 

What should the PS4 be doing, in July, as a 7 month old machine? Doing good compared to what?

 It is not doing good compared to Wii and is doing worse than PS2 at the moment. So I guess that's what he is comparing it to. 

Not doing as good as the Wii (an anomaly) or the PS2 (another anomaly) doesn't mean it's doing "bad". It's beating its predecessor and all competitors (this gen) during the same time frame. Plus, with just 7 months in, there's no telling how it will perform against the Wii in the long run. It won't catch the PS2 because, well.....it's the PS2.

Eh you got a point when you say it isn't doing bad when not comparing to the Wii or PS2. Compared to PS1 it is doing better but people do not want numbers to go down to numbers we have not seen in over a decade. The question is "Is it acceptable to do the worst numbers since 2000?" 14 years ago?  Just because it is beating its competitors does not mean it is selliing good. You could be the best sports player in an amature tournament but you will probably still suck. It is like having one eye in the kingdom of the blind.

No telling what will happen this generation? That's the point of making predictions! No facts are made yet but we can predict. Also it is never too early to make predictions. :D
