It would be an anomaly if after it happening it doesn't happen again. If it happens again it is a shift of pattern or a disrupture.

Anamoly is something that happens punctually.

PS2 sold more than PS1 so PS1 wasn't an anomaly. GBA sold faster and DS more than GB so it also isn't an anomaly.

Once again, for its time, the PS1 was an anomaly. 

Anomaly: deviation from the common rule. That's what the PS1 proved to be. These days, selling 100 million isn't anything unheard of.

From PS1 onwards no leader sold less than 100M, and during its first couple years it wasn't even on a high sales curve. So as I said it's more like a disrupture on the market than an anomaly.

As you put "deviation from the common rule", not "deviation from the previous rule". So it by standard is that it goes back to what it was before the anomaly.

Since GB which release 3y before PS1 sold more than 100M. So your use of anomaly see a little strange and more like to dismiss the point made by the other user. But since it is off-topic I'll stop.
