Exactly. The ps2 started slow, but year after year it gained more and more momentum. I expect a similar effect to happen to the ps3, in Japan at least. It still has a pretty good hold of the JRPG market, with FFXIII, WKS, Disgaea 3, Persona 4, Steamboat Chronicles 2, etc.

 

The PS2 started out real slow. Slower than the Wii, right?
