PS4 is performing more like 360 or PS3 than Wii by a large margin, and 360 didn't really get started properly until a year after launch, and PS3 took even longer. The PS4 isn't selling nearly as well as people think - it was doing very well around launch, but despite popular belief, it's not doing nearly as well now as strong consoles have in the past.

The fact that XBO and Wii U are selling even worse, and that the PSV is selling poorly and the 3DS isn't doing much better than the PS4, demonstrates how anaemic the video game industry is right now.


Anaemic? Sweet Jesus people. Both PS4 and X1 have vastly outsold their predecessors during the same time period. It's the summer right after a new launch cycle. Sales are gonna be slow. They always are during summer (and yet, PS4 is outselling both PS3 and 360 during their respective first summers by FAR). Sales will pick up this fall/Christmas as they always do, then they'll dip again next summer. As they ALWAYS do. As far as software goes, April/June saw the industry as a whole make massive gains.

You folks are ridiculous. Honestly, it's impossible for some of you to see or make sense. Anaemic. What a joke.
