Sony's not doing great right now either. They're either matching or several million units behind where they were with the PS4 at the same point in the console generation; given that their closest competition has been decimated, that's not great for them. They don't make games as quickly as they used to, which means they don't make as many as they used to, and their margins are slimmer on their successes while the failures like Concord and PSVR2 hurt more. Both of those consoles are rapidly headed toward a future that only looks like personal computers for high-end gaming. Nintendo is at least mostly immune to this for at least the Switch 2 generation.
That's comparing Pro to Pro. I meant all PS5s were trailing behind all PS4s by several million units at the same point in time as of a few months ago. Allegedly, after that report was published, Sony had their best PlayStation quarter ever, but I don't remember if they disclosed which metric they were measuring that in, and there's a good chance their best quarter ever still didn't make up that deficit.
