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.

Again:
PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001

That isn't a 1 week thing, that is a trend.

YEAH, in JAPAN PS3 wasn`t doing good compared to PS2 WHOLE YEAR.
That is a TREND, INDEED,
AND that`s why i wrote about Japan apart from NA+EU, since that Japan Trend has chances to change in better way for PS3.
JUST like US+EU trend may change in worse way for PS3 during last 10 weeks of 2008.

Now, to be clear:

PS3 in 2008 is not doing WW as good(equal WW) as PS2 in 2001, because of poor sales in JAPAN only, while EU and NA sales COMPENSATE each other.

@koffieboon, NEW SKU =/= pricedrop. This is just a FACT. Pricedrop - when one product get price down, and 40Gb model is a different product. It`s just like saying, 20Gb model was pricedroped at launch, since it costed 500$, while 60Gb model 600$. Just plain stupid.

About Others, new games like LBP, Resistance, Motorstorm and other are only on the way of release + add bundles. then popularity of blu-ray = WIN. The sales WILL increase.
