why is it that we have a bunch of people in here saying that something doesnt deserve the success it got, but when i say that PS4 doesn't deserve the sales it has attained so far, everybody loses their shit and says things like, "who are you to say that they don't deserve the sales they got?" but now when it comes to movies, everyone has an opinion about what something deserves? i find that interesting.

Because a movie is a single, static, discrete thing that will never deliver an experience other than what it already has. A console is constantly getting more content and delivers new experiences and offers future awesomeness. People buy consoles both for the now and for what will come. There is a certain level of confidence in what the future will hold for a console, and that comes with brand reputation.  Also there are hundreds of games which cater to a huge variety of preferences on a console. This makes deciding "deserved" sales much less tangeable for a product that delivers many and varied experiences, compared to a product that delivers a single experience to everyone.

Also you would not complain about PS4 sales being undeserved if Xb one and Wii U sales were also in the 20 millions and one of those was in the lead. Your complaint about PS4 sales is only because of the difference between it's sales and the sales of the competition, so it's a relative to what you prefer argument, which is not the same as this thread. No one is saying these $1 billion movies are undeserved because the Incredibles is a far better movie than most of the $1 billion club (in their opinion, which I would agree with) but only got 2/3 the box office gross of most of the $1 billion club movies that released within a few years of its release.
