You mean... Jan 2014? And... what does a specific month has to do with what I said? I said the first year (12 months) were the worst for PS4. It just got better and better sales over time, which is usually the trend for a console. Doesn't make a difference if it sold more or less in one month, which it even didn't btw, when we're talking about a year.

What are you talking about worst? The first 12 months for the PS4 were pretty good in the US. I would be impressed if Switch pulls off a month like Destiny month. (540k in 5 weeks) And it has been pretty steady and close otherwise.

First 12 months PS4: 4.8m

2nd 12 months: 4.5m

3rd 12 months: 5.53m

4th 12 months:  5.36m* more estimated

I mean... worst worldwise. Sorry, I should have clarified that. Anyway, even in US first and second years were almost tied and then it went up. That's the normal. and that was my whole point (that PS4 being 3 or 4 years old is actually good for it, not bad, like Celador suggested in my quote).
