@bolded:  Because that was the entire reason for my initial post.  You're quoting my response in your "examples" of users who disagree with you, so I'm clearing up (once again) what I'm disagreeing with:  The ridiculous comparison. 

So, a popular brand in the US for three generations now, has only a "slightly more possible" chance of regaining its 7th gen glory in the US than the PS5 outselling the PS2 in Japan?  It would take a miracle for the PS5 to sell even half of what the PS2 sold when Playstation was king of consoles in Japan. Completely lopsided comparison.

And it would take a miracle for Xbox to regain its seventh gen glory as been outlined many times. Also, PS5 reaching half of PS2's lifetime sales (11.5M) in Japan does not require a miracle, just a more proactive Sony when it comes to pricing. 

If Xbox achieving that is a miracle, then PS5 selling half of PS2 in Japan most definitely qualifies as well.

But if you had equated Xbox's 20m lead in the US (without COD exclusive) to PS5 selling half of PS2's sales, that would have been a fairly good comparison actually. What's laughable is that you compared it to PS5 outselling PS2 in Japan, which is utterly preposterous.
