Kasz ended this thread a while back. It's fun to see the delusional keep ignoring him though. The original post ignores the fact that the PS1 would have been out for 4 fiscal years in Japan, 3 fiscal years in North America and Europe. The PS3 has been out for 4 fiscal years in Japan and North American, and 3.5 fiscal years in Europe. In this flawed comparison the PS3 has been on the market for 1 year longer than the PS1 in North America and six months longer in Europe. Thread logic = Fail.

sigh just wait till the end of this year, i expect more boost's from GOW III and FF XIII, not to mention the huge boost PS3 will get when GT5 comes out, this year will be the best year the PS3 would have had sales wise, PS3 sales are growing, not losing pace.

Which you know... won't change the facts that the PS3 isn't selling like the PS1.
The PS3 could have a miracle and start selling like the PS2 and i'd still be right.
I'd also be happy the PS3 would be selling like the PS2 because.
A) I like the PS3... I own one.
B) I like videogames, the more consoles sold the better... I wouldn't care if it was virtual boy sales... even though I hate that headache inducing bastard.
The fact of the matter is though... I'm not going to play pretend when I know there is an erronious conclusion being drawn. The facts are the facts and there are few things that annoy me more then misrepresented statistics. Probably because of my statistical and scientific background in college.
That and we don't really need repeats of the "PS3 is selling like PS2!" threads we had a year or two ago... they were just annoying. You need to alight launched by region to make any kind of meaningfull analysis.

fair enough, and in all due honesty i don't question your point's of view, i just don't like when people get overly nagative about the ps3, in my view it will reach 100m+, eventually.
we all need to stop this negativity towards all consoles in my own view no console is doomed, ps3 will surprise everyone, and wii will really astonish us all, it is destined to break the ps2 record at this rate.

I wasn't being overly negative about the PS3.
I wasn't even being negative about the PS3.
I was stating a specific fact about the PS3... correcting the incorrect stat in the OP.
It's not like it's impossible the PS3 won't pick up on the PS1... though it'd probably take more then 1 year to do it.
You figure they're probably about... ~6-7 million behind right now.
Aligning with the PS3 launches, between now and this time next year PS1 would have shipped 8.33 million in europe, 6.91 in the US and 2.57 in Japan.
Meaning the PS3 will have to have shipped an additional ~17.81 million to break even. A little less of course because of the old Sony reporting methods... but a little more since i'm still giving the PS3 a bit of a lead in europe to make the numbers work, and this is right when PS1 exploded in Europe.
Not really out of the question. Just a matter of making up the 6-7 million and making sure it somehow stays relevant down the line.
