Regardless, cumulative numbers show, the PS3 is selling faster.

That's only if you ignore the fact that PS1 launched almost 10-12 months later in the rest of the world outside Japan, so for almost a year there was one territory accounting for all of PS1's sales, compared to PS3 which had all territories getting the PS3 much faster

I mean, we can nitpick launch times, release dates and the whole nine. The bottomline, the PS3, in total consoles sold in 2 years and 10 months is selling faster than the PS1 was at 2 years and 10 months into it's life.

@ Avinash.

This.

Ok, lets say for the sake of moving the discussion forward that it is the third fastest

But when you compare it to the PSP, which it is tracking a few million under, you see that the trend is for large, but short lived spikes in sales, so yeah even if its selling well at the moment it doesn't seem like it'll be sustained

 

 

I agree, this time next year the PS3 won't be at 50 million, make this whole PS3 > PS1 debate a bit pointless.
