 Yeah but only in one territory, much like the 360 has NA

 

Wii is the global console

Another shot at Sony?

Not surprised.

That's still not saying much.

Though I'm curious to know how long they're going to keep up this "tracking at PS2 levels" BS.

@Avinash

but you see the GC didn't have anything as big as FFXIII & GT5 for Japan...

things there could very much change easily

In NA however, it's time to accept Ps3 is 3rd forever

I'm not leaping to any conclusions, but his first answer is full of spin.

They're behind in
Japan: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
Americas: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=America&cons2=PS3&reg2=America&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156

The only reason they're close in Europe and Total is due staggered launches
Europe: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Europe&cons2=PS3&reg2=Europe&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
Total: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156

But the main spin is on the 11 million target. Short of holiday season sales until the end of march they're going to be quite a few million short of the goal.

 

Sigh.. I'm so slow.

 

Here's a good chart to compare the PS2 and PS3: http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS2&reg2=Japan&cons3=PS3&reg3=All&weeks=64

Well the PS3 is doomed to trail the Wii forever

 Way to troll, nobody mentioned nintendo and though i agree with you and the PS3 made lots of mistakes wtf is your problem bringing the wii into a debate over something a higher up in sony said about the ps3?  Your avatar fits you, since you seem to be like sheep following whatever the trend is and at the moment its bashing the ps3.

 

On topic, i dunno how you came to that conclusion but outside the US the PS3 is doing well and won't be dropped by sony.
