p.s. Wii is supply constrained in USA for last 90weeks, by your logic, we can`t compare Wii sales in USA since launch with any other console, which weren`t supply constrained? What is your point then? =))

Damn right you can't compare Wii sales in USA with any other console, such a comparison would be totally unfair to the Wii due to this crippling disadvantage it has with its stock situation in the US.

But I am feeling like a bastard today so I'm gonna do it anyway =)=); I'm gonna do the dastardly deed and compare Sony's mighty PS2 in 2001 to Nintendo's crippled-by-short-supply little Wii in 2008, just like this thread does for Ps2 and PS3. After all, PS3 and Wii came out at the same time in America so no difference, right? =)=)=)

Here we go:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2001 to 14th Jul 2001:

Console	PS2
America	2,362,421

A mightily long 23 in... eurh I mean a mighty 2,36M consoles. Beat that tiny Wii! =)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 12th Jul 2008:

Console	Wii
America	4,211,403

Haha, you see how unfair this comparison is now? Stacking the deck in PS2's favor helped it crush... WHAT?!?! oh wait, I forgot the PS2 was supply constrained in America at that time, so it's unfair to the PS2 and that just wouldn't do now, would it? =)=)=)

So let's compare it to 2002 when the PS2 was not unfairly disadvantaged =):

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2002 to 13th Jul 2002:

Console	PS2
America	2,949,656

See, I told you it was totally unfair to the PS2. With a better supply it is totally trashing the... eurh... =)=)=)... one minute... what I meant was...=)=)...2003, we should compare the Wii to PS2 2003 to be sure it is not supply constrained =). It's the last comparison I promise =)=) ...as we can be sure that PS2 was not supply constrained in 2003 as it got its best number that year =)=) for the time period we are currently comparing =)=):

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 04th Jan 2003 to 12th Jul 2003:

Console	PS2
America	3,068,565

Nice number isn't it =)=). I'm gonna repeat Wii numbers because they are not on my screen and I have ADD so I don't remember how bad they were, what with it being held up by short supply and all =)=)=)=). Here they are:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 12th Jul 2008:

Console	Wii
America	4,211,403

Eeerrhh.. =)=)=) Let's see... =)=)... See, I told ya we couldn't compare them! That's why the above is total bunk and not at all representative of the Wii's success in the US in comparison to the PS2's success. So from this we can of course conclude that PS3 will do PS2 numbers in America as the Wii is out of the running due to a faulty comparison =)=)=)

@ bitmap frogs: love your manny avy. The fun of Crazzyman and MikeB and a few others is seeing how they will twist and ignore stuff to make the world fit to their theory instead of changing their theories to fit to the world.
