The point is you're trying to compare 2001 to 2008 saying that since the PS2 sold almost nothing in Jan/Feb 2001 and then sold a ton in March 2001, that the PS3 will do the same. All the while ignoring the fact that the PS2 had severe shortages in Jan/Feb 2001 which were finally resolved in March 2001 for NA. The PS3 has nothing like that. Its sales will more closely follow last year.
PS2 sales in 2001:
07th Jan 2001 to 25th Feb 2001:
Total 1,411,997
America 531,158
Japan 388,162
Total Others 492,677
04th Mar 2001 to 25th Mar 2001:
Total 976,399
America 485,314
Japan 207,447
Total Others 283,638
PS2 also shipped 9 million from April-September 2001. It shipped another 9.1 million from October 2001-March 2002. Now using, these actual numbers, what are you saying the PS3 will do? Double its US sales in March from Jan/Feb (when PS2 was having shortages?) Ship 18 million this fiscal year? Sell 1 million worldwide in March?
