Interesting to note that the Japanese market has contracted significantly since the PS1/PS2 era and that the PS4 is not exactly hitting a home run in NA (comparitively to the PS2, Wii or 360). So it's appeal as a brand has weakened in some markets, while growing stronger in others.

X is legit competition in NA.  PS4 has an actual fight on its hands unlike PS/PS2 had.

Is it much less sales in same time from compared to Ps/PS2 ?

I'm not going to do a serious analysis of the figures given we don't have numbers updated to the end of the year yet and I don't have time, but roughly speaking- the PS2 had shipped 32.8m by the end of it's 4th year in NA, we will probably have the PS4 close to maybe 24.5-25m sell through by that timeframe, so it's around a 7-7.5m difference, sell through to shipped. Either way it looks like its significantly behind.

Anyone else with more time on their hands feel free to interject if I've got this completely wrong.
