So are you implying that unless the PS4 can surpass the combined sales of the PS2 and PSP, it is a failure?

 

The PS3 plus VITA sales are relevant to WiiU plus 3DS sales, so did Sony flop in gen 8?

 

Also by your logic, the PS4 only now comes close to breaking even from last gen after five years, which by your logic, was a failure anyway.

 

I mean, if that is how success is to be measured, it should be the same across the board, correct?

Why are you insinuating me things that I never said? Did I bring anything up about Playstation?

I asked why 85M+ sold consoles should be considered as a dark age for Nintendo? And what makes the Switch end this dark age? HE considered 85M+ sold as a dark age NOT ME in his post. And I said that if 85M+ sold is a dark age what makes the release of the Switch the end of this dark age since imo it won't sell much higher than that (if it even reaches 85M).

PS4 doesn't need to outsell it's predecessors to be called a success because they are already on a very very high level (almost impossible to beat). As long as the Playstation 4 still sells strong and makes good money for Sony it's a success for them.

I misunderstood your reply then.  I apologize.
