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).

I would be very happy if I were Sony and the console went up in its 5th year, but that would be abnormal. But like I said it hardly went up in the US. WW of course it did, and in Japan it went very far up.

A console on its 51st month / 5th January at this price in the US certainly shouldn't be doing this well.
