And yet they're sales are still up year on year and still beating all opponents globally on a regular basis and standing toe to toe with the Switch in the States.  And as someone already pointed out, PS4 charting positions here are not unusual for the time, the Switch is just way higher than is typical.  

You people keep crying out that the market is saturated and it's too expensive but all actual evidence says otherwise. 

Globally, they're fine. But they do need to be more competitive in Japan and the US, especially since it's going to be a while before the hot 2018 titles arrive. There's nothing wrong with wanting growth. You can't just rest on your laurels either. "Oh, we're still doing great in Europe, etc" really isn't a strategy. It may be toe to toe with Switch in the states now, but the Switch's trajectory is only going to go up. Especially once it starts getting a foothold and more third parties get tempted.

That's not to say Playstation is in any danger of being sunk, but you'd think they'd keep the momentum up in the face of competition. 

At 60 million ps4s sold I really don't think Sony is in much danger. It's going to take years for with Switch or any Xbox One console or combination of to reach ps4s growing numbers. That's not to say Sony devs should hold back Software. Especially to appeal more towards Japan. Europe is more less owned and North America is split. But I think this is where we lose that generation focus that Microsoft mentioned. Currently with system launches are staggered. Sony is not losing any money to Nintendo or Microsoft when they sell their console. They would however if they stopped making exclusives and lose the unique part of PlayStation that is appealing.
