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.

Yep. It should be doing much better if it doesn't have a tough competition. 

Was the Wii market competing with the ps3 though?  Wii sold 12m mostly to the more family orientated and casual gamer.  

 

PS3 still 10.5m. 

 

This gen the ps4 is going after the ps3/360 market not the ps3/Wii market.  

 

I disagree that it should be doing much better just because the Wii U failed.  It's matching the ps3 launch aligned and that is what I think it should be doing.  Retaining it's market,  rather than lose it like Microsoft have and Nintendo largely have.
