??? I ama sking why you keep harping on 1-2 months and ignoring all the other facts?? LIke it selling so much faster means it hit demand much faster then 360 ps3, or even ps2 did at first? The only one defensive are you on your crusade to make ps4 look bad by bringing up the ps2, the best selling console evr lol


I haven't been impressed with PS4 sales for several months now. Not just the last 1-2. Deal with it. 


Good for you I guess, that's a you issue, the facts are the facts though.


Yes they are, like 190k for first August (and the PS4's numbers for April, May, June, as well) are relatively weak unless you go back to the PSX/N64 era from which we don't have reliable numbers. 

?? AGAIN .......because it sold so much faster........you keep ignoring that.....it took 360 and ps3 many more months to do it, so it's supply was strained thus better sales in slower moinths...why do you keep ignoring this??

 

1-2 months does NOT negate overall sales, it's cherry picking

So.... does this mean that every single console except for the PS2 has underperformed? o.o I mean, the Wii only hit 100 million, that's 2/3rds of the PS2's total sales, largely because the Wii's sales seemed to drop right off a cliff after a set period. I'm just curious as to why it isn't until now that I've heard this metric being used... pretty sure if, last generation, the Sony fans were saying; "Yeah, well, the Xbox 360 is NOTHIN compared to the PS2, so there!" they'd be laughed right out the door. ...heck, I'd be doing some of the laughing.

It's actually July where PS4 was underperforming ... For June the PS4 performed fairly decent.

AGAIN, because it met demand faster then any consoel not named wii, whih you conveniently ignore......... if ps4 had a much lower launch due to supply it would be selling triple what it is not..supply and demand how does it work?

Excuses, excuses, excuses ... 

The PS4 does not have a supply issues anymore. Oh and thanks for admitting that the PS4 isn't in demand craze. You just furthered my argument as to why the PS4 isn't performing so well compared to the previous leaders ...


It's fact....of course it does not have supply issue cause it sold faster then any console every except the wii, thats the point ROFL..ps3 and 360 did thus there sales were much slower, but took longer to hit demand, you slow?

 

You have to be a moron to think if the ps4 had ps3's supply it would not be selling way more right now....if say it was only at 5-6 million.

I don't care what it sold at launch. We've all acknowledged it had a very strong launch (not surprising since the last generation went on for damn near a decade). I'm looking at its sales performance this year and it's nothing special. 

And I'm looking at this in the context of the INDUSTRY as a whole, not as a PS4 versus XB1 circle jerk wank for bragging rights.

If the market leader is having troubles hitting above 250k consistently, coupled with the utter collapse of the handheld business, it says something about the industry IMO.

Well the king of consoles is called king for a reason.... To compare the PS4 to the king in order to justify your opinion that the PS4 isn't selling well is rather silly. Nothing wrong with having opinions, but to those who aren't impressed with the PS4's sales, it's your opinions. Not facts. Opinions.

Every system increases in the fall, big whoop. 

You want to see a real monster at work, go look at PS2's November/December 2001 and lets see the PS4 try to keep pace with that. 

They had a great launch but the sales in 2014 after the launch honeymoon wore off haven't impressed me much. Sorry if you can't deal with that without throwing a hissy fit. PS2 is a much better example of a very good launch followed by extremely strong second year of sales consistently knocking out 300k+ month after month in even traditionally slower months like its nothing. 


You really make me laugh.

PS2 2001

Yahh PS4 will really struggle to pull that,

part two PS4 has yet to even finish its first year while you are brining up PS2s second year.   please stop buddy you are really making a joke of yourself now.

Let it go man, you aren't going to convince them because they don't want to be convinced, they've made up their mind and thats it. Proceeding with the argument will just get you worked up and banned. Better just to see a brick wall for what it is and move on.
