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.

@red part.
Except none of those things matter because ONLY SALES MATTER!!!. Developers were developing games for the PS2 back in 1999, and for PS3 in 2005... but that has nothing to do with how long it was allowed to sell for.
And price is also not a factor, it's not the consumers fault Sony made a stupidly expensive console, if you want to get into revenue made then fine, except you don't because ONLY SALES MATTER. (That and revenue means nothing when the profits are negative)
