@truthiness,
You admit that the PS2 is supply constrained while the PS3 is not even remotely, but with a little hand waving claim that the situations are the same. How?! Correlation is not a sign of causation, and does come close to provide proof.
1) 2008 is 2nd ps3 year since launch. 2001 was 2nd ps2 year since launch. NOT since SALES. FACT.
2) In 2001 were released BIG games like MGS2, GTA3, FFX, DMC, GT3. Games like MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII, DMC4, GT5 also aimed to 2008.
With these 2 MAIN statements i decided to compare PS2 and PS3 sales, and to see how close/far PS3 sales will be in 2008 compared to ps2 sales in 2001.
So please, enlighten us all as to what will cause the PS3 to explode in sales continually throughout the year to reach these numbers? Will they finally be resolving those dreaded supply constraints? Or is it the momentum they are riding after crushing the gamecube Wii and Xbox Xbox 360 during the holidays?
In my opinion:
1) pricecuts, (ps2 had 299$ for whole year).
2) BRAND games releases.
3) new bundles.
4) variety of genres.
5) new level of HD gaming.
However, if and when you are proven wrong, I'm sure you will accept that your reasoning was flawed and that your methods were incorrect, and that you will eat a slice of humble pie right?
OR will be BIG PWNAGE for all unbelievers, right? =))
You constantly compare PS2 and PS3 sales numbers without taking into account the differences in the PS2 and PS3's launch.
@Darc Requiem, just admit, that you are Sony hater, That you don`t believe in PS3 success and LEAVE this thread. Thank you.
I already explained 100 times, why i taked these 2 years. Deal with that.
Last time for you:
1) 2008 is 2nd ps3 year since launch. 2001 was 2nd ps2 year since launch. FACT. NOT since SALES WW.
2) In 2001 were released BIG games like MGS2, GTA3, FFX, DMC, GT3. Games like MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII, DMC4, GT5 also aimed to 2008.
With these 2 MAIN statements i decided to compare PS2 and PS3 sales, and to see how close/far PS3 sales will be in 2008 compared to ps2 sales with it`s 16 mln. in 2001.
NOW you can LEAVE.

 A new level of hd gaming? What like they are launching QuadHD games? Or will the graphics suddenly become so overwhelmingly better than they are now that people will throw their wallets at the counter and go gaga for cocopuffs?

 Also, so you expect sales to skyrocket to 1 million/month when? Honestly, if you are so confident in your prediction, lets see just how good it is.
