You banging your head against the wall because you're failing to see the point, you've gone blind with this being a comparison thread of sales data. Like i said, that is not the point.. at all. You.. are.. missing.. the.. point. What you're trying to argue against.. is.. not.. the.. point.
I didn't say the PS2 outsold the 360 since it released! I show you numbers of PS2 sold since the begining of this generation, which happens to be at the time where the 360 was launched. And i showcase this based on three regions, the same regions we all know and love.. NA, JP, EU/Others.
And since the launch of this generation, the PS2 has sold millions upon millions of consoles.. and been doing so 5 years into this "next generation". Thats five years, five! That's half way through of what MS and SONY claim this generation is suppose to last, and yet, the PS2 is concidered last gen, even though its been selling on par with current gen consoles (minus the Wii) half way through this generation.
Obviously the PS2 will die out completly within 2 years time or whatever, and the "current gen" consoles will keep on truckin'. But imagine if the PS2 was made by another company, Apple for example. Their product would basicly have lasted throughout two "generations"(!), and don't you feel that their sales would matter despite not releasing a new upgraded console to compete with the Wii, PS3 and 360.. just because they're a "last gen" console? Or if Apple released a console tomorrow, would this gen die then and there? And no matter how much the Wii, PS3, 360 sold this holiday, it wouldn't matter, because we'd be in the next gen of home consoles and Apple would have a head start on all other companies when it comes to sales numbers?
THAT's the point of this thread.. the definition of generations. The fact that Playstation 2 and 3 is devided in sales despite both being the same company, both being supported (up until just recently anyways) and both have active sales in the same generation. But still, its Wii first, 360 second and PS3 third with most of the people on the iNteRneTZ. I mean, why is it that the 360 has a one year head start on the PS3 and Wii? Why dosen't the PS2 have a 5 year head start on the "current gen consoles"? So like i said.. THAT's the point of this thread.
OMG what a wall of text.. i really need to continue working.
