So what if you been part of both launches. I had a wii u so I didnt buy a ps4 until ratchet and clank but i bought the switch a few days after it launched because it was the only gaming portable at that time and still is. You keep saying ps4 had it easier because the competition screwed up but dont you consider ps4 also did things right. It had great games coming, good marketing and well priced. A Playstation console is always gonna sell well with all that no matter the competition

PS3 had a very rough start and the VITA was a complete bomb.  Just because something says, "playstation" does not mean it will sell.  Had MS not fumbled so bad out of the gate, we could be seeijg completely different sales numbers.  But they did so the PS4 had easy.  Those games they "had coming" did not even start to drop till 2 years after its life started.  They had nothing to do with how it launched.  In fact, it was MS that had the upper hand in that department.

There is nothing wrong with admitting that Sony had easy mode set for them at the start of the gen.
