the weirdest one is people saying a 2m launch month in March wouldn't be good

You do realize the PS4 sold over 1M in just a day in just the US and Canada at launch, right? 2M WW at launch is to be expected if you have the units available. Well, unless your product flops hard. I don't think anyone thought it would flop hard. The worst case scenario I've seen is it doing well at launch and then fizzling out slowly, like the Wii U and 3DS, to a lesser extent, did. In fact, all the arguments I have heard from Nintendo fans reminds of those launches a lot. Still, I don't see it doing as badly as Wii U, but I also don't see it pulling 3DS numbers.

Not selling as much as the PS4 at launch, or anytime after in fact, doesn't mean a console is selling badly. PS4 is on it's way to being one of the highest selling consoles of all time after all.

And it released in the holidays, which I think is not as significant a difference as some make out, but is a factor
