PS3 performing better than PS1?!

I wonder how good where the PS1 sales in it's first 3 years to be on par with PS3.

I'd like to have a graph on both 3 sony consoles LTD sales.

There's a Spin here.

Comparing a system(PS3) to another that hadn't that much of spectacular sales before a certain period (PS1) doesn't make that system a lot better from thin air because the old system wasn't selling that good till a certain point after 3~4 years in the market.

For a reason no one compares PS3 sales with PS2 sales, because there, the scenario is much different.





Who's with me?

Yes there's spin, the same spin that Crazzyman was using when comparing PS3 to PS2 (due to the staggered launches). That comparison eventually got derailed when the negative factors caught up, which is why you don't see many people using it anymore.

There's also what Kasz216 said, of course...

PS3 is very successful. I couldn't say if it's more or less successful than PS1, I'd say both are equally successful.

PS1 = first place

PS3 = third place (second if everything goes well for Sony)

PS1 = 66% market share

PS3 = nowhere near 66% market share

Sorry but they're not equally successful, even if someone found a way to get PS3 sales to appear similar to PS1 sales.
