they will bounce back soon, won't be the same in a few months

All things considered, it's bad. With all MS have done to spur sales, it's still down on its second year, which I honestly didn't expect.

They're not gonna be able to cut another $150 and bundle two more games every year, so we could potentially see a situation where the console's peak year was its first. That would be awful for the system.

Well,the Xbox One is still selling better than the 360 so I think they are well off.

its okay, the xbone isnt selling so bad, the market is breaking.

not only that but people are forgetting that ps4 first year is the equivalent of the second or third year in a normal console cycle.  How many ps4 were sold last year?  13m?.  It was almost there with Wii in the first year so it was obvious ps4 was way front loaded than the normal ps consoles.  people are concentrating too much of % increase/decrease without looking at the big picture.  Again being almost flat compare to last year without any price cut is very good.  It's also the most expensive console right now.

Last years numbers were not that great, this year it sells even worse. So I am going to go with bad to horrible.

PS4 shipment numbers are not out yet so no comment on that for now.
