PS2 2001 sales numbers vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =)

@TWRoO,

You seem unwilling to look at the huge difference in timescale when broken down regionally, yet perfectly able to dismiss Japan in order to (attempt to) prove the PS3 is equalling the PS2. You have classed 2000 as the 1st year of PS2, which it is, but in terms of sales it had no chance to sell well in 2000 as it was only in Japan for 7 of those 10 months.

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

*THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2001 to 03rd Nov 2001:

Console	PS2
Total	9,526,378
America	3,782,531
Japan	2,499,385
Total Others	3,244,462

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 01st Nov 2008:

Console	PS3
Total	7,642,867
America	2,745,269
Japan	753,955
Total Others	4,143,643

If you remove Japan, then PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001, so far.

then PS2 in Japan,

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Nov 2001 to 29th Dec 2001:

Console	PS2
Japan	1,071,365

and last year PS3,

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Nov 2007 to 29th Dec 2007:

Console	PS3
Japan	405,182

And last year Japan didn`t have ALL PS3 80GB models bundled with GT5P Spec III, neither LBP bundles(which still have potential), and incoming PES2009 bundle + WKC on track.

WHICH WORD people you DON`T understand???

@Vertigo-X,
just one Thing:
PS2 launch PRICE - 300$/euro,
PS3 launch PRICE - 600$/euro.
