By looking at the sales in every region on its own you eliminate the sales difference that is caused by launching the system in different regions at different times.
Basically, if the PS3 is performing far worse in Japan, far worse in North America, and far worse in Europe only a moron would claim that the PS3 was performing at the same level as the PS2 because there was a 9 month relative (to the PS3's launch) delay in the North American launch of the PS2, and a 5 month relative (to the PS3's launch) delay in Europe.
The fact that the PS3's sales in North America, Europe and Japan is roughly equal to the performance of the PS2 in Japan alone is insulting to the PS3...
Edit: On your claim that the PS3 will outsell the PS2 in Europe, I think you need to consider that the PS2 was launched in December and was so supply limited that it could not take advantage of the Christmas season and the PS3 was launched in March. Right now that spike in the PS3's sales relates to the Christmas season, and the spike that is aproximately 4 months ahead for the PS2 relates to its first Christmas season. If you notice, the PS2 sold (roughly) 2.5 Million units in that holiday season while the PS3 will likely sell 1 Million units in Europe ...
