Why compare a $400 console to what was at the time a $250 console? Is this the new low that certain posters have sunk to now? Its starnge, the PS4 is not doing well even though its selling better than the PS3 and PS2 did in the same period of time, better than what any current generation console has managed to do... but yet, its not doing well and everyone is just doing badly? Wow. Guess some people will say anything. |
Because some people are ridiculous and don't understand how console cycles work. Summer is a slow season, period. And yet, PS4 is currently selling far more it's first summer than PS3, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. It's having the best first summer ever. But people don't wanna do that. They want to compare a brand new console without a any real must-haves (par for the course first year) with console sales from, say 2010 or 2012, when there was a huge catalog of titles available. Some people are CONVINCED the next generation of consoles need to sell 800k a week, and that's absolutely insane.
And comparing it to the Wii is folly. The Wii was an anomaly.
