I feel like this just confirms what I have been thinking. When PS4 won 2017 in total sales people were out champing it like that was hard for it to do ... even though it only won because of stock, pricing, and a two month headstart.

i feel the same about people championing the Switch outselling the PS4 as a huge achievement when the PS4 is 3.5 years older and the Switch started out $100 cheaper

Such a bad viewpoint when most consoles peak in the middle of their life and 2017 was PS4's peak year so giving it a victim complex doesn't make sense ... 

 

Although I'm up for just discussing things as launch-aligned as well. But you attacked both launch-aligned("started out") and current sales. So I guess we just shouldn't compare them at all .....
