VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2001 to 13th Oct 2001:

Console	PS2
Total	8,730,253
America	3,456,013
Japan	2,379,194
Total Others	2,895,046

 

So the PS3 is only behind by (approximately) 1.7 Million consoles at this point in time

1.7 million? Not if you actually align the launches from each region. The PS3 is 5.4 million behind the PS2 in Japan alone.
