Jesus, PS4 really is a beast.
Ps4 almost beating 2 verry successful consoles.
Just wauw!!
The PS3 is beating the Xbox One even...wasn't the PS3 considered a total failure too? :P
And to think the Wii is beating the PS4 in the same time frame is incredible.
It is still very close Ps4 should start outpacing the Ps3 and Xbox 360 towards the end of the year. With Ps4 slim and Pro and PSVR out could look very good in a few months time.
I don't think the PS4 will outpace the PS3 and 360 for long. The 360 didn't really explode until 2010 I think it was, same with PS3. At 33 months we aren't into 2010 yet.
