Griffin said: The PS3 is not really doing all that bad if you factor in the price difference and the wii/360 being such great competition this gen. The PS2 also only had the DC to compete with until the 2001 holiday season which brought the GC/xbox to the market. We are also low on are PS2 numbers so who really knows where the differences between our numbers and Sony's are. |
Don't forget that 2001 was a very rough year for the PS2 where it was plagued by supply issues for the first half of the year, and it also had a very weak line-up of sparse releases until it headed into the holiday season. By the end of this year the PS2 will have outsold the PS3 by 3.5 to 5 Million units.
This isn't to say that the PS3 has sold poorly with everything that has gone against it ...
