PS4 this week outsold XB1 lifetime sales in Japan.

Not really.

The xbox One is a disaster in Japan, the WiiU is poor and the PS4 is not good.  The PS3 was bad for a playstation console so the PS4 "matching" that is not performing "remarkably well".

 

I'd add that the PS3 had real competition there, so the PS4 barely matching the PS3 sales in the absence of real competition is bad.

Exactly. PS4 doesn't offer much different than a PS3 when you think about it, either.

People claiming sales of any console won't exceed the PS2's generation are actually missing a big point. If they keep doing what the previous gens did, ala XB1 and PS4, you'd be right. You're going to need something like a Wii to reignite passion in home consoles. PS4, sadly, falls way short of that.
