I think the next Chartz Comparison should be PS3 vs XB1. It's a really close race, and it could be humbling for the Xbox enthusiasts who said the PS3 had awful Sales but also say the XB1 is doing fine. (The reality is they both did great, just an FYI)

I was just going to comment on that. PS3 supposedly was selling horribly last gen, yet Xbox One sales are good, even though it's trailing a little? Hmmmm

Are they really the type (whatever many are even left on here) that needs to be humbled?, especially this gen?.

wowzers... How did this happen? The PS4 got a little word of mouth, a great price point, good strongest performance.. I think all the stars aligned, and Sony deserves a pat on the back for getting it right. Maybe they got a little lucky with all the bad press surrounding XBox One at and before launch.. but thats just my take.

Sony, aways had much more global appeal than the other console companies, since Playstation 1, so if they make the right move and win on USA, and Europe, Worldwide, already will give a big lead over the others.

Not sure why this is getting thumbed down. Sony did most things right, and they most definitely deserve the success they're having, but it is also true that both of their rivals put up exceedingly bad efforts.
