That's pretty much what I showed. What's key: 

PS2:

  • 13 months – March 31st, 2001 – 10.61 million

PS4:

  • 9 months – August 17th, 2014 – 10 million
Seeing how 10 million is the benchmark, that it was I felt was most important. It took the PS4 four months less (overall, I'm aware of the 7 month JP discrepancy for the PS2 and the 3 month difference for PS4) to hit it. Not sure how that can be spun, other than, again, mentioning Japan (which as I did with the Gran Turismo people last gen - the sales were made up elsewhere), but that's grasping at its absolute best.

Seeing as all markets are considered when looking at global benchmarks, it is factious to delve into individual countries because the only result of an aligned launch is more sales at a certain period of time.  Grasping isn't even the word.   For example, they says "Face it! For a market leader the PS4 is underperforming and nothing will change that according to the data".   This means that to there is no situation in which they will admit the PS4 is doing well let alone exceptional.  You can't argue with someone who refuses to acknowledge data while presenting nothing objectively. 

 You: PS4 is the fastest selling console in history.

Them: The PS4 is underperforming and nothing will change that because of this arbitrary fact that doesn't change that its the fastest selling console in history.


Exactly.
