so what, the same is true for every console, so the percentages or ratios of sales are the same unless one has drastically larger failure rates

Last of Us, Journey and LittleBigPlanet are not great titles that defined PS3?
PS4 going to have Bloodborne and Order 1886 soon in 6 months. PS4 sales are great because it defines a great gaming system with good price, power, better 3rd party games over other consoles, many indies, guaranteed diversity and many unique exclusives/experince from Sony first party in future(proof is PS3), more value from PS+ and cross-buy for Playstation ecosystem, PS Now support for backward compatibility, Its own VR system etc., PS4 is the best and affordable way to play all kind of next generation games which is realized by everyone so many people bought.
yeah...well...i bought 10 XB1s, so that XB1 could keep up the 2:1 ratio and not fall behind even further!
Between Benny and Y2Kev there have to be at least 15 million PS4s sold
You must not have collected them yet because it's 5M shipped vs. my PS4s which I actually brought home with me. (They went through my apartment door.)

The recurring question: were holiday 2013's console sales a fluke or not? Usually consoles do better their second holiday on the market than their first.

I don't like FPS games on any platform, but that doesn't prevent me from seeing how people find them desirable. =/

And in the long gone yesteryear
Don Mattrick's words made Redmond cheer
"Ten million first shall win this race!"
He said, with grin upon his face.
"The coming battle shall be won right here,
With games like Halo and Forza and Gears."
He ended his statement with a triumphant nod
Secure in his love from the gaming gods
His words stoked fires among the fans
Each camp clenched swords in bloodied hands
The system warz began again
Three noble fighters, each sure to win
Microsoft, of course, had their white box
Sleek, and powerful, and filled with lots
Of games to play with friends new and old
Or even watch Netflix (if you paid for Gold)
The box upon which SCE was betting
Had power, confusion, and printer settings
The games would look and run so swell
If developers could handle the goddamn Cell
And in the third corner of the ring
Stood the tiny offering from the former king
An innovative waggle-box called the Wii
Would eventually win, quite handily
But fear not brave warriors! War is not through!
Nintendo returned with the shiny WiiU!
It's a console! It's a tablet! It's both things combined!
It's the word "underwhelming," redefined
The other two fighters each had a son
The 360 gave birth to the Xbox One
Underpowered, TV-focused, and chained to Kinect
It struggles to gain traction, or even respect
PS3's new child has shot up the charts
Sleek and powerful, with a gaming heart
It seems quite destined to stay far ahead
Unless Sony acts like Sony and shits in the bed
But now that Gamescom '14 is here at long last
Words did echo from deep in the past
"The first to 10 million shall win at all cost!"
Hung from Microsoft's neck like a stone albatross
So now Tokyo laughs as Redmond sneers
And Lara Croft's eyes well up with tears
For bad news has arrived for the mighty Xbone
PS4 was the first to reach Don's milestone
Damn! Fixed
This really should be added to the OP!

Probabilistically speaking it's an impossibility. But regression to the mean is working for him. He will ultimately get a working PS4.

Destiny will be one of the biggest games of the year and will have a PS4 bundle. How can you not see that will move consoles? The GTA bundle moved a ton of of ps3s even at the end of a generation.

It passed all XB1 bundles that were recently announced and charted. It was below them a few hours ago.

We better remove a couple of million X360 because of RROD, then.
Stop trolling the thread.
Also this. Nicely done.

It will be joined by other such IGN classics such as: "A PC is a PS4 devkit and I'm concerned for the heat" and "opticians resolve mystery: 50 inches is needed for 1080p"

Frankly of all the console systems i've ever owned only 3 ever stopped working on their own:
1. My Sega CD stopped reading discs after about 2 years
2. My launch PS1 died after about 4 years, just wouldn't read discs anymore
3. My launch 360 died after about 18 months, the replacment died about 12 months later and the one I bought to replace that died after 2 months and was replaced, but I haven't turned that 360 on in about 18 months now so not sure how it's doing.
(I will ammend I never got a PS2 near the beginning of life so I avoided that)

approximates what his "5" ps4 must look like
Even if true, that is extremely rare, bordering on impossible. Failure rates for both X1 and PS4 are so low that the odds of someone getting 4 PS4 consoles back to back failing is astronomical.
Either you are pulling our leg or you are one unlucky person. Hopefully we never end up on the same plane together
It is going to move consoles, I said major console mover as in, say moving more than Watch_Dogs, which I just can't wrap my head around it doing.
And yes, I know it's very biased to go by my own gaming preference.
But hell, I think you guys are right, just doesn't compute for me.
I have a PS4... every time I show a game to some one and say look here is a new shiny console. The answer is oh yah, I have seen Towerfall on Ouya, Fez on 360, Last of Us on PS3, Destiny beta on 360.. It was never this hard to demo a console before.
When I first showed Gears on 360, Halo on OG Xbox, GT3 on PS2, FF on PS1.. The answer was "wow.. I have never seen this before". Even on PS3, the first game I showed my wife was Ratchet and she said.. "This looks like Pixar movie and not the polygonal ratchet you used to play on PS2".

Wow a basic ass PS4 is still outselling X1 limited edition bundles that even include a fucking game. They stay thirsty...
Damn, I was so eager to do a opticians resolve pun.

Yet you didn't show them Infamous or Killzone, then proceeded to slap the shit out of them If they didn't say "wow"...

You've shown multiple people your PS4 and these multiple people all knew not only was towerfall on Ouya but that Ouya actually existed? Yeah I dunno about that...

And that Destiny bundle is still in the top 20. O.O
Yup. Although I ended up selling a friend on one by having her play TLoU. Went out and bought one the next day.
More bundles meaning the pre-orders are more spread out maybe? I dunno.

No they don't. Sold though means bought at Sold. Unless you actually bought those 5 PS4's they don't inflate the count.
This is beyond stupid.
Killzone or Infamous would have sufficed.
I'm beginning to question the sincerity of his post as well.
Ouya is very popular where coldone lives. He lives right outside the NPDs.
O lol
I don't know anyone whose died of cancer, this whole cancer thing is overblown.

To be fair i don't think anyone has said that.
Not exactly a fair comparison considering their are 8 Xbone SKU's on Amazon to the PS4's two. Not saying the thirst isn't real, but just saying.
I'm really interested to see how the PS4 does going forward and whether or not they keep up the momentum, they are in uncharted territory with how well this console has been doing!
