First of all we arent talking performance in absolute terms, we are talking relative to the PS2.

I didn't set the parameters for this discussion, but I simply cannot see how down by this much is good, okay or alright.. its poor. (remember, RELATIVELY)

if you think down by an average of over 40% per marketplace is okay then fine.

Yes, we're not talking in absolute terms, which you seem to be doing.

You are not taking into account any of the factors the PS3 had against it right off from the gate, such as its price and its lack of software compared to the PS2. 

I don't care if you want to ignore them, and just show to my face the lack of sales that the PS3 has in comparison. The point is that it's doing damn well OK relative to the PS2 considering everything going against it.

 fuck knows how well the 360 and wii must be doing then?

stupendously incredibly well and off any possible scale i presume?

Forgive me, but I thought this discussion was about the PS2 and PS3.

Wii has been doing well compared to the PS2, 360 has not been doing as well compared to the PS2 as the PS3 has. But those are beside the point.
