      No! Even without taking MSFT and Nintendo into consideration the PS4 Era was amazing, especially if you compared the PS4 success to the Xbox1 and WiiU. The Xbox1 launch was bad, but the WiiU was such a disaster that Nintendo ended their generation after about 2 years and selling only 14mil consoles: for reference the PS5 sold 30mil consoles within 2 years being more expensive at $500 in a global recession/financial crisis due to covid and admist a worldwide chip shortage
