Huh, kinda sucks for everyone, then. o.o Always figured that the Xbox One was doing 'pretty decent' and the PS4 'really good,' with the bulk of the Xbox One looking to do poorly being its comparison to the PS4, but I guess this means that the PS4's doing 'pretty decent' and the Xbox One 'pretty badly' if hitting 10 million by that point isn't anything very special.

The problem with that link is the lack of relevance to this point (the first August of PS2 versus the first August of PS4). Sure, we can now assume the PS2 hit 30 million 2 years in, but what about the first 9 months? Had it crossed 10 million? I mean, of course, it if hadn't, that means the thing really took off after, but the proper context is missing here.

Aye, like I told the other fella, I was being a bit of a tease with that. xD If I can get a 'The Xbox One Is Doing Badly' out of him, I'll be pretty happy. But comparing two different time periods really is a bit pointless, under the circumstances; the products, and the markets they were selling to, were very different, so I think that even trying to measure 'success' using a console two generations ago as a measuring stick- one that released before so many titles became multiplatform- isn't really going to lead anywhere. If the PS4 DOES hit that number somehow, great. But not keeping up with it shouldn't be considered a failure, if it's still kicking the competition's ass up and down the street.

Exactly....he is just trying to downplay ps4 cause console war BS.
