Oh my. ioi can we build a FAQ page and list this as one of the first faqs. It is really annoying that so many new site members make this same incorrect statement.
katsuraji, at this time PS2 was the only one on the market and only available in Japan. That means in first months of PS2's life it was only available in one region, NOT worldwide. If we compare that to PS3's japan region you will notice that it is doing significantly worse than the PS2. In fact the only console to do do the same or better is the Wii. Below is each region compared, if you sum it up you will see what I mean.

OT: No. I think the PS3 is doing poorly because the price and few games. The price is making it a hardcore only purchase, and those people are by far the minority. Those people alse are the ones who usually by alot of games and are generally multi-console owners.
