Crunch time for the PS3

[boilermaker11]

For everyone on here that's saying that the PS3 is not comparable to the PS2 or PS1, uhhh, yes it is. Check here:

PS1 first year sales were much lower....it still won in the end.

PS2 sales are matched....and whoever said the PS2 was an "instant" success is wrong, as shown by these numbers. If the PS2 was the succes right off the bat, as you claimed it to be, then the PS3 is also an "instant" success, even with its' initial $600 price tag.

Also, whoever said that the PS2 released early, had no competition, etc etc....did you forget about the Dreamcast? DC had the market at the time, and as it stands, it was the equivalent to what the 360 is now. Cheaper, more games, etc. And that got destroyed. Also, the complaints that people have with the PS3 were the same for the PS2 (optical drive makes it too expensive, BD for PS3/DVD for PS2, no games, hard to make games on) yet.....look what happened.

I suggest that anyone that doesn't see that there are parallels between the PS1/2/3 to check the numbers I posted above, and read this article....you'll have a laugh, because you'll realize that you are all basically this guy, just 7 years into the future:
