Nope. Mediocre by definition is "average, mean" so the best can't be mediocre. You can at most say that it isn't impressive compared to Switch or PS5 WW sale and even that would be still non-sense since first Switch doesn't directly compete or is really 1:1 comparable to PS5 and the split of WW sales and Japan for PS have been like that for several generations now.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mediocre#:~:text=%3A%20of%20moderate%20or%20low%20quality,performance%20%3A%20ordinary%2C%20so%2Dso

“of moderate or low quality, value, ability or performance

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/mediocre#

“Of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate”

“Not satisfactory; poor; inferior”

I don’t see any contradiction with the definition of mediocre and what my previous post says. Something can absolutely be the best year in x amount of years and be mediocre.

Yes, and you get it is low of quality, value or performance because you compare to something it isn't directly comparable to, hope to have helped. God help us if anyone calls Switch a mediocre system.
