But he thought that PS3 would track above PS2, because of the stunted launches.

 

*THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.

Based on the way he worded this, i would assume he never thought the PS3 would track above the 16mil units the PS2 sold in 2001.  He also included the word "far" in the comparison, which would mean he never thought the PS3 would track anywhere near the PS2 2001 numbers.

If he said the PS3 would track above the PS3 later on in the thread i would assume this is just banter between fans from all sides of the console war.

 You clearly are not familiar with Crazzyman's posting history. He used to use the way the PS3 tracked comparitive to the PS1/PS2 as "proof" of the fact the PS3 would take off and dominate after *insert game here* was released. He definately thought this would provide more fuel for that.
