Lol, sorry, but now I just have to laugh at those downplaying these numbers. It's starting to look a little desperate. And why compare the PS4 with the Wii? Only because it makes it look worse? I think I know the answer to that, but let me ask you one more question. Was the Wii the market leader in the US? NO! That honor goes to the 360. So, why don't we look at the 360's sales in the US after launch compared to the PS4s:
360 PS4
Nov. 2005 ~ 326k Nov. 2013 ~ 1.14M
Dec. 2005 ~ 281k Dec. 2013 ~ 863K
Jan. 2006 ~ 249k Jan. 2014 ~ 271K
Feb. 2006 ~ 161k Feb. 2014 ~ 285K
Mar. 2006 ~ 192k Mar. 2014 ~ 371K
Apr. 2006 ~ 295k Apr. 2014 ~ 199K
May 2006 ~ 221k May 2014 ~ 197K
Jun. 2006 ~ 277k Jun. 2014 ~ 269K
Jul. 2006 ~ 206k Jul. 2014 ~ 187K
Aug. 2006 ~ 204k Aug. 2014 ~ 190K
Sep. 2006 ~ 260k
Ok, so that's a total of ~2.7M after 11 months for the 360 vs. ~4M for the PS4 in 10 months. I even gave the 360 an extra month, however, that is for another reason. You see, September is Destiny month. PS4 is going to KILL the 360's 260K. At least by ~2x. Which means it would beat the Wii's 1st September, which was 501K. That would also mean it would beat the PS2's, too. Well, technically, I couldn't find its Sept 2001 numbers, but in 2002 it sold ~500K, so I assume they were probably close to the same. Again, cherrypicking a few months, and only pitting it against a couple of consoles, just reeks of desperation.

That looks like five fairly underwhelming months for the PS4 in a row. But I guess no one should mention that because it might ruffle a few feathers.
The 360 was not the market leader, that would be the Wii. Why don't you put the Wii's first year up next to the PS4?

Lol, your bias is showing. You COMPLETELY ignored where September is going to make up for that AND most likely beat THE WII's AND PS2'S first September. You know, the only consoles you can compare the PS4 to to say its doing poorly, even though the PS4 is still ahead of them currently.

I said 190k for a first August as a market leader is underwhelming.
So stop putting words into my mouth. If you're going to have an arguement at least know what you're arguing about.
The Wii's first September was just ... September, nothing special or no big game released for it, and it still crushed 500k, which is bloody incredible by the way.
