I'm not saying you should stop this thread continuing or anything, and sure keep your MAIN POINT, but that doesn't stop the whole comparison being useless for anything other than comparing for the sake of it (the same as me doing the comparisons I mentioned)
TWRoO,
1. it`s NOT useless for ME and people who:
care about sales of Sony products.
are not Sony haters.
and believe in PS3 success.

2. 2008 is 2nd PS3 year just like 2001 is 2nd PS2 year.

PS2 1st year life: Jpn - 10 months / Ame - 2.5mth / Eu - 1.5mth
BUT it is still 10 months of console LIFE, 10 months, during which developers were developing games for PS2.

PS3 1st year life: Jpn - 13 months / Ame - 13.5mth / Eu - 9 months
BUT it is still only 13 months of console LIFE.
Only 13 months, during which developers were developing games.

YES, it`s PS3 ADVANTAGE that it was selling more time during it`s first year in regions like US and EU.

BUT

come on, DOES it FAIR to compare console, which launched at 600$ price with console at 300$??? NO!

So, it`s a COMPROMISE.
