The PS2 is still performing very strong for the US and Europe, combine PS2 and PS3 sales and Sony still leads global home console sales. Also according to a recent study by far most gamers still play their games on a PS2 in the US compared to other systems (by far the strongest XBox and XBox 360 market).

So playstation is like one of thsoe combining tranformers, weak seperately but combined they become strong? : P

Neither the PS2 nor PS3 really perform weak, IMO they both sell well considering the time of their lifecycle, the PS2 has to deal with market saturation but has the advantage of price and a solid games library, people buying a PS3 may give the PS2 to kids, the PS3 has to deal with getting its games library up to spec due to intially longer development times as advancing the legacy game engines up to spec due to the huge gap between the PS2 and PS3 technically which also resulted into a more expensive console which needs to be cost reduced over time to hit mass market (for example Slimline version).

I was talking about Sony as a home console making company though, this means PS2 + PS3.
