" The PS3 cross-ownership rate with PS2 is about 80 percent, so much of the PS3 installed base is a PS2 consumer or had been at some point "

80% of ~ 21 million PS3 owners = ~ 17 million PS2 owners.
So 17 million PS2 owners (out of a total of ~ 125 million) have upgraded to a PS3.
Does my calculation make sense? If so:
a) is that a respectable number of upgrades fought for by Sony?
b) is ~ 4 million newcomers a respectable number for Sony to have got onboard?
