No home console is going to perform as well as the PS2 ever again. That's a pipe dream. The console market has shrunken in that regard since gaming has splintered since then. This is about what's to be expected. 

Now say if the NX was a hit, I'm not sure if you can classify that as handheld or console though.

Obviously.  But I dont think the PS4 will even outsell the PS3.  I'd like to see the relative performance thus far in a graph format.

My point was it isn't a remarkable performance, not even close.  The competition fucking up and gifting a relatively decent performance means nothing.

I doubt Microsoft's stumbles would have affected PS4's sales in Japan anyway. It's not like it's historically really been competition there. PS4 still has yet to see the biggest games for it arrive on the console. They actually have a DQ game coming for it as opposed to last gen, so that should work in its favor some.
