Well it didn't have the burden of a 600 dollar price tag and second rate versions of multiplats to deal with.

Whatever the reason may be, it still takes a whole lot of spinning to try and say that the PS4 is doing poorly. It isn't, at all. Shipping 9.5 million consoles in 8 months is massive.

I am examining current sales. You are making a spin by examining past sales, and attributing them to the present, completely ignoring the the fact that the PS4 only sold 117K last week, which is in line with how it has been selling for months.

It was years before the Wii had sales that low, and PS4 has been doing it regularly. The Wii launched in 2006, in July 2007 it was selling 250K per week, more than double the PS4 currently. It was only in July 2011, when it had declined to 130K per week, that it dropped to selling in the low range the PS4 is currently selling.

No, what I'm doing is applying logic to them, the thing you completely fail to do, you can't view those sales in a vacuum, you have to look at what point in its life the PS4 is currently in.

Also hilarious how you tell me that I'm making a spin by examining past sales and then compare the PS4 to past Wii sales, at least try to have some consistency in your argument. And the whole Wii comparison is still pointless as the Wii had, as has been said time and again, a extraordinary short life with explosive sales, while PS consoles have always had longer lives.

I've said it over and over already but the PS4 does not need to outsell the Wii now to outsell it in its life. The PS4 is doing very well right now and if you claim otherwise, then sorry but you're really clueless.

So then, let's compare it to PS2:

PS2 launched in March 2000 in Japan, and fall 2000 everywhere else. At the end of March 2001 it had shipped 10.6m, and by the end of summer 2001 quarter, in September, it had shipped an additional 9 million units, for a total of 19.57 million, or an average of about 345K shipped per week.

You are attempting to twist PS4's current 117K into a good number, when it is in fact a poor number.
