Ok First off this is a comparison of the PS2 to X-box sales worldwide. I think what CrazzyMan might bec trying to convey is the orginal X-Box was much worse off compared to the PS2 than the PS3 is against the 360. The Wii doesn't factor in because noone is replacing the desire for a "next gen system" with a Wii. The Wii is a system that is going to be a secondary system for the people who want the graphics and capabilities of a PS3 or 360. If the Wii wasn't meant to be designed for non traditional gamers it would not have been Marketed towards them.
There is alot of Doom coming up considering the PS3. Much of it is probly fabricated by people who already have a different system. The fact is there is desire for the PS3. People that own a PS2 want to play the sequels of games that will only be on Playstation. I would venture to say that no other game system could have sold over 3 million consoles at $600. That says something about the loyalty Sony has built and the consumer confidence in a brand name
You hear alot tht the PS3 is selling just because of the "playstation" name. Thats not a bad thing . It means people are willing to stand by it because it has not let them down. In my opinion microsoft let people down with the original X-box (4 year lifespan is pathetic). PS2 still sells very well.
With that all being said I believe it is Sony's job to close the gap and in time they will.
