Sony consoles aren't consistent either.

The PS4 already has four years under its belt though, so sales data of previous consoles isn't important anyway. The PS4 sales curve doesn't match the PS1, PS2 nor PS3.

The same thing can be said for the Xbox One. It doesn't match the original Xbox nor 360.

Not saying you're wrong but the impression I got was that the PS2, PS3 and PS4 trends were similar considering the staggered launches of PS2 and PS3. PS1 was a slow starter. 

This is without studying any numbers so any input would be appreciated. We need shadow with one of his charts. 

PS1 peaked year 3 or 4

PS2 peaked year 2

PS3 peaked year 5

PS4 peak so far is year 4 (could be year 5)

 

PS1 and PS2 had great legs after their successors launched while PS3 only lasted a couple years after its successor launched.

 

There really isnt any set trend for any of the console manufacturers.
