You are comparing that the consoles did well based on the sales from what their predacessors typically sold I am assuming because yeah, these numbers were normal for them but the problem is, These are a new console, not a console at the end of the gneeration like they were last year with the PS3 and the Xbox 360. The PS4 is selling just as well as the PS3 did last year towards the end of the PS3's life, yeah, I bet I am going to get someone arguing that t"oh, the PS3 still has life in it, well, I don't care, it was still the end of the generation but still, you'd think that a fresh new console would sell much better than your usual numbers for the end of a generation. This is why people are claiming the PS4 lost/is losing it's steam and that people are being blinded by the numbers saying it's fine because it is how they always sell.... yeah but should a new console be selling just like the predacessor at the end of it's generation? No, it would be doing a heck of a lot better. This should be the case for all the consoles which clearly, it isn't happening. Yeah they sold great starting, but numbers had dropped depressingly. |
The PS3's numbers are very good for a console of its age, though. Way above PS3 and Xbox 360 numbers at the same time in life, and only surpassed by Wii and PS2.
Consoles usually don't sell that well until their second or third holiday season.
