I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Sony announced 50 million PS2s shipped early in 2003.  1048 days after its launch to be precise.  For the PS4, Sony announced it 1118 days after launch.  So, by that time, PS2 already eclipsed PS4.

The PS4 was only outpacing the PS2 during its first year.  But, the PS4 was a global launch, while the PS2 wasn't.  So, the PS4 has an extra 7 months of sales in Europe and the US.   If you align the launches for the regions  its not really that close.

nope, ps4 is outpacing the ps2 still, this whole post was just you wiggling around that for whatever reason lol. this year will be ps4s peak year and it will be glorious

no its not, PS2 is ahead in each region.

PS4 is only ahead if you ignore the fact that PS2 was exclusive to Japan for nearly 8 months



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Nobody cares, Ps4 is ahead WW does not matter if was only at Japan or India it is ahead and will keep being ahead at least until March 31st 2018, whatever you say is irrelevant after this post.

Peace.

well people should care because it is the most accurate way to compare them.

PS2 is ahead in each major region launches aligned and gglobally ahead by about 7 million.

Given this is a sales forum, i imagine at least a few people care :p I know i'd personally consider an aligned comparison more useful than a strict one.

exactly, comapring it the way most people are doing skews it into a false trajectory.

with that said, im not trying to take anything away from it, PS4 is clearly doing great and will likely finish as the 2nd best selling home console of all time (3rd or 4th when including handhelds).

Well... whether or not it matters depends on your goal.

If the PS4 being ahead of the PS2 makes you personally happy, then feel free to count from wherever you want.

If you are trying to make accurate predictions about the PS4's future sales trajectory, then 7 months of sales in the two largest regions is actually really important.  If you don't take that into account, then you wind up saying silly things like the PS4 will keep pace with the PS2 to 100 million.
