Yeah, but the problem is that now Sony doesn't have a one year lead, and their competition is much craftier.

True,

I am just saying that in the past the PS one and PS2 were called a disaster too (in sales) but everytime when MGS and FF came along the consoles start to sell.

Hello

Its funny to see how Playstation fans always try to let people think PS3 isn't the flop it is because according to them, it was the same with the PS1 and the PS2.

Problem is : it is totally wrong, the PS1 was the 1st one so ok, the 1st year was very hard but the PS2 was a huge success from the beginning, just check the charts, in his 1st year of sales in the USA, it was sold 4.6 millions PS2 ! (PS3 has sold 2.2 millions and Wii has sold 5.7 millions) and his 1st year of sales in Japan, it was sold 3.9 millions PS2 ! (PS3 has sold 1.27 millions and Wii has sold 3.7 millions).

Total of sales for Japan + USA in the 1st year is 8.5 millions for the PS2 and 3.47 millions for the PS3, it's 2.45 less.

PS2 was almost like Wii success, it has nothing to do with the PS3 sales !

Bye.

not to mention PS2 was first to launch and PS3 was last (ish). I laugh every time people try to draw parallels between the PS2 and the PS3 because there are none. The PS2 launched out of the gate spectacularly and neither the Gamecube or Xbox ever looked like catching up.
