TWRoO,

Crazzy, in NO WAY are both of those years the 2nd year for each console.
i ALREADY answered to that in my first post:

PS2 launched in March 2000. Was selling for 10 months.
PS3 launched in November 2006. Was selling for 1,5 month.

10 months of 2000 close to 1 year? YES.
1,5 month of 2006 close to 1 year? NO.
12 months of 2007 close to 1 year? YES.

Overall:
2000 PS2 = 2007 PS3 - 1st YEAR.
2001 PS2 = 2008 PS3 - 2nd YEAR.


Anyway, i gave ANSWER to koffieboon QUESTION.
@Crazzy: PS3 is already about 2M behind, what gives you the idea it won't fall back further compared to PS2 in 2001?

And i ANSWERED YOU.

So far,
PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001 - TRUE.

And then i wrote about Japan.

PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
