“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.

I’m not sure why you’re bringing up Switch, to be clear, I never even mentioned PS5 in any of my comments. I was not agreeing or disagreeing that it did mediocre, I was just disagreeing with your statement that, “best in 20 years year automatically means it did well”.

If my business lost money $1 million over the last 20 years and this year I made a $1 profit, I still didn’t have a good year just because it was the better than the last 20.

If a boxer gets knocked out in the first round in 20 straight fights and then makes it to the 2nd round before getting knocked in fight 21, they still didn’t do well despite doing better.
