Regardless if they slowed down recently, they still have announced about 3/4 of their victories. It doesnt matter how many ways you slice that, its not "hardly ever". You were wrong, get over it.

And by the way, they have lost close to half of the last 18 months so obviously they had to slow down their winning speech.

Did you miss the responses that pointed out how dumb his link vomit post was?

Sony hasn't done THREE PR releases like this...IN A YEAR-AND-A-HALF!

That's according the "proof" for his own dumb argument.

You know what's happened in that "short" span of time?

The PS4 Pro, the NSW, the X1X, and the Orange Potato in the White House!

You're contradicting yourself, in attempt to save face. Why? Because you want to prop up a narrative you've personally invested in: always a bad move.

1) We're talking about what they are DOING, not what they've DONE. If you're going to try to take them responding EVERY MONTH FOR TWO YEARS and then try to conflate that with them responding LESS THAN EVERY SIX MONTHS FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS, you're being extremely biased.

2) So they lost about half the months, huh? Yet they're always so eager to announce victories? But they weren't losing, until Switch launched in March...but they scaled WAY back nearly a year before that? So your points are inherently contradictory? Yes, they are.

Hardly ever definition.

If we count 2013. 48 months total since PS4 was released. 29 out of 48 months They made statements about  being #1 in US or combo Global #1. Google is your friend. Sounds like someone needs a hug.

Nothing i said is a contradiction and the only one trying to save face is you. Im sorry that you cant admit when your wrong but thats not my problem.

I already ripped this argument apart, unfortunately. For reference, the question regarded, explicitly, what Sony "does," not what they "did."

For the first 29 months, they posted at a 100% rate. For the last 19, they posted at a 16% rate. That's an 84% drop-off, for nearly 2 years or the last 40% of the console's lifespan.

In essence, for nearly the second half of the console's lifespan, the span that is CURRENT, they...wait for it...HARDLY EVER post about winning. 

Scrolling through the posts is fundamental. Logic is your friend. Selection bias is your enemy.

Sony released a cheery statement on the NPD numbers.  Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing Guy Longworth commented:

PlayStation continues to be the best place to play for innovative IP, as PS4 was the preferred platform for May’s biggest releases, including Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein: The New Order, and held four of the top five spots for next gen software sales. PS4 is the leading next-gen platform for sports, highlighted in May by the best-selling sports game, MLB 14: The Show.

As usual, we don’t have unit sales specifics, but Sony claimed victory for next-gen software sales in an email, writing that the PS4 “[led] two of the top three titles” (Watch Dogs, FIFA 14) and was first in unit sales “for the sixth consecutive month.”

In a statement to GameSpot, Sony added that four of the five best-selling games during the month were for PS4. The NPD should reveal the top 10 titles of January next week, where Resident Evil 7 is likely to finish near the top.

Sony seems to have gone quiet once Nintendo started kicking its ass this year, But then again Sony never talks about being #1. Only did the PS4 starting in Jan 2014
