Context is key, that being the massive age gap.

Playstation has often fallen short of double the Xbox in the years since 2012, while being the same age, so it's not a given.

Anyway, I didn't mean it as "this is a big achievement", it was just an observation.

Playstation has done it every year, okay not since 2012, but since 2014 which in a 11 year gap is almost the same, so it hasn't often fallen short ;). In fact it has done it almost every year since this given period.

And yes, this is not a big achievement for PS either (maybe in the sense of outselling it's direct competitor double but still).

And yes I understand your context perfectly. It is achievement selling that good in 7th year, no doubt about that.

But beating Xbox one, and now Xbox series sales is not admirable, or achievement.

Every year but not every month, as this is monthly sales.

If they were the same age I'd say it's no big deal at all given Xbox's tepid performance in recent years, the reason I personally consider this level admirable (Not amazing, just admirable) is cos Switch is not only old as fuck but also by this point probably running up against saturation point.
