Incorrect.
I assume you're referring to aligning the PS3 and the PS2 sales charts? You have to remember both console have different yet staggered launch periods. Try aligning all 3 territories individually for the PS2 and PS3 and you'll it's very different.
Here, I shall do the leg work for you.
PS2 - 6.1 million
PS3 - 2.3 million
PS2 - 11.0 million
PS3 - 5.5 million
PS2 - 7.0 million
PS3 - 5.9 million
This gives a total units sales for all three major territories for each console as:
PS2 - 24.1 million
PS3 - 13.7 million
The Wii given the same period is at 29.6 million.
13.7 million is more than just a little bit behind 24.1 million. Another factor to keep in mind, the PS2 sold almost 20 million units before the Xbox and GC even launched. That gave PS2 a huge advantage that PS3 does not have.
