Is PS4 the first console to sell like this without a fad?

The PS4 is selling like this because of the X1 reveal. IMO.

That reveal was just an absolute disaster, they left the door wide open for Sony in all markets, even their tightly held US. So yeah... the PS4's Gimmick was Smartglass, TV integration, DDR3 memory, empty promises of cloud power (remember that?), always online, no more trading of games, Kinect always kinected (remember that?), moving all games from the console to Games for Windows Live 10, but yeah... for Sony the handy thing is, all those ideas were on the systems main rival.

I bought a PS3 after that reveal, and a PS4 soon after launch, after being a X360 fan all last gen.

Well not exactly.

PS3 at the end of it's gen had much hearts and mind share due to the high quality exclusive releases at the end of that gen. Where as 360 near the end was forgotten from MS with exclusives. Along with sour taste in peoples mouths with the RLOD on 360.

Then yes MS with it's $100 more DRM in place, gotta have Kinetic for it to work lie. Did not help.

Plus Sony showing the roadmap of Exclusive games coming within the next 3 years plus deals with 3rd party AAA games DLC first to PS4.

And now 3 years later with all the P4 Exclusive games coming out with all the mind share and installed base, it's just a snowball effect till at least next gen if not longer as long as Sony does not fumble the ball to PS5 in 2020.
