| TheSource said: You can't compare the worldwide graph for Wii & PS2 fairly. Wii launched simultaneously in 2006 (Nov 19 to Dec 8 worldwide) while the PS2 chart starts from the Japan launch that predates the western launches by 6 months or so. You have to take the number of weeks Wii hs in each region, and compare that to where PS2 was at that point from launch. |
I agree early on it might not of been fair, but we are talking over 3 years for PS2, it was in all areas a significant time, and was not supply constrained as the wii currently is in America. I think the longer supply constrain makes up for the staggered launch of the PS2 so that they are fair enough to compare.
