PS3 is no PS2. PS3 sales performance this generation is the kick in the rear end that Sony needed to wake up and change its ways.

Aligning sales after three years on the market PS2 had sold around 45 million systems. 15 million per year. PS3 only sold around 27 million systems. 9 million per year.

Good thing the ps3 is well on its way on outselling the PS one if we align those launches

Not a chance, the PS1 had a staggered launch and it's first year was Japan only, giving a faulty from launch comparison showing the PS3 tracking ahead

fiscal year sales for PS1:

 

1 0.9 (Japan only 1 month)

2 3.4 (included American and European launches very similar to PS3)

3 9.2 (1st full year of PS1)

4 19.3 (2nd full year of PS1 nearly double PS3s second year)

5 21.6 (over 8 million above Sony's PS3 forecast)

 

for PS3:

 

1 3.6

2 9.2

3 10.0

4 (forecast) 13 million

The difference is really starting to pick up.
