Now that ioi has added PS2 data for "Others", its a good time to do a general comparison of sales since launch. I will focus on the PS2, PS3 & Wii in this thread.
...
Japan
The Wii has been tracking under the PS2 from start, but seems more consistent. It is about to intersect the PS2 line. 33 weeks, approx 3.1m sold (PS2 & Wii). The PS3 is sitting at around 1m - and is trending to flatten out if anything.
...
US/America
The Wii is slightly above the PS2, with a slightly stronger gradient (and has been from start). Apart from that, its pretty much neck & neck.
Like Japan, the PS3 is tracking below both - but sitting at closer to 50% of the sales (rather than 35% in Japan).
...
Others
The Wii & PS2 are neck & neck - exactly, with the same gradient as well.
Something odd with the PS3 curve (now seems aligned to the world launch, not the Europe launch?). Had a solid burst at start (800k+in opening 3 weeks), but has only sold another 350k since (last 13 weeks).
Taking into account the staggered launch, it seems to be tracking around 65% of the PS2/Wii totals - or around 40% when compared "as-is".
...............
Conclusion:
- the Wii is selling on-par with the PS2 worldwide
- the PS3 is selling around 40%-45% of the same total worldwide
