But as i said above you can't really use numbers from these places as you would have to go through individually and remove places where 360 is not released. Like for example China, the most populated planet on earth. Many Middle Eastern countries. In reality if you went through each of those countries and removed the ones without a 360 release the PS2 total would be a lot lower.

Either way it does not matter, 360 has outsold PS2 in americas,europe and japan since it's release.

 

that's like saying the sales there do not count!, which is not the case this is a site that has "WORLD WIDE" sales total's does it not?

so just because the XBOX360 is not released into those areas is not the fault of the other countries and their sales..

say for instance as an example: If the PS3 or the Wii was not released in the US market and the xbox360 was would you than exclude the US because the Wii and the PS3 was not released there...?

Yes it does count.....

However as shown if you break down each region based on when the 360 was actually released in each region he is wrong. In terms of collecting data you can't use numbers that are prior to 360's actual release as that would make the numbers false. That is what he has done.

 

how is it false, he is showing the product sales in a per region basis just as you did..it would be great to pick an choose what data to ignore and which to choose , but you cannot if you want to be unbias. look his data is when the system's sales were from the start of when the xbox360 was released..not when the PS2 was released because the PS2 would be way more ahead.

just because a product is not in a region and another is does not mean you get to exclude those sales in the totals. that's like saying I release a product and you than release one at the same time but i put it in more places than you . but you want to exclude those places sales?

look just because the xbox360 sold more in some region's than other does not take away from the fact the PS2 out sold the xbox360 and the PS3 world wide.

the Xbox360 does not do as well in Japan as the other two, yet that does not mean we exclude the sales number's for total system's sold.

for as good of the sales the xbox360 and the PS3 has had the PS2 just sold more because (a) there are areas that are just now getting the PS2 for the very first time..it's a new launched system there! It's like they just got a new system released there even though the rest of the world has had them for many year's. (b) it's priced very Low, with a ton of existing software to buy.
