Of course. But the PS2 is the only one that came close, and look at its sales

Suggesting a rule by one example? Oh you

The Wii's in that same boat actually ;)

The list is missing the Xbox and GC which both had launch months that were better than the Wii's.

The Gamecube sold nearly 700k in it's first month. Pretty amazing considering how bad the lifetime sales were for the console. 

Well, it was cheap as fuck wasn't it? 

Yeah but it lacked a DVD player, which held back the price. I don't know what DVD players cost back then, but I'm sure they were more than the extra $100 the PS2 cost. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

No, it cost $199 at launch, while Xbox 1 (the original...sigh I hate that they have basically the same name) cost $299 and PS2 as well.


I know, but it had a price cut after flop

With the first Xbox Microsoft was entering the market for the first time, there was a lot of exitement and hype behind it, which resulted in the great sales at first. GameCube was really inexpensive, compared to what consoles cost now. The PS4 would be outsold for the next 2 years, if it was to begin selling from 200 dollars.


There is a story behind every number. The comparison still is a bit off because target audience increased and internet is hyping like never before.

Insert crazy gif here. Anyway good job to Sony and the PS4 they clearly did a great job building up the hype and marketing.

Congrats Sony!

This will surely reap better network effects in favor of PS4, and to the detriment of Xbone. The future will also bring

a) The effects of Pricing Gap (favoring PS4)
b) The effects of Brand Loyalty in the Rest of the World (favoring PS4)
c) The effects of localization differences in Japan and others (mostly favoring PS4)
d) The catapult effects from Rest of the world to North America (favoring PS4)
e) The effects of Kinect (mixed & non-clear results for now)
