I was being a bit wry, actually. xP To be honest, even if the PS4 isn't keeping up with the PS2, wouldn't exactly consider that a strike against it, given best selling console of all time etc, etc. Kind of like saying a boxer isn't very good because he can't KO Mohammad Ali. As things stand- with changing markets from decade to decade- the best measure really IS how it's measuring up against its competitors, and the other two fellas really have done teeeeerribly at competing against it so far. Which brings me back to 'If the PS4 isn't doing anything special, the Xbox One must be doing e-special-ly bad' point. =P It's all kind of relative.

I agree, comparing anything to ps2 is silly, that is never happeneing ever again..it had no competition, japan was still a big market, and games like GTA were exclusive to it. Bringing up ps2 is a bad attempt to discredit ps4.....nothing more.
