PS2 2001 sales numbers vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =)

[CrazzyMan]

now I wonder how you can even compare PS2 to PS3 sales.... both console don't occupy the same position on the market... PS2 was the lower tech when PS3 is the higher one, the prices are not comparable and the market changed a lot since then.... it's like comparin the sales of the first motorola GSM with the razor today.....

You got the point. =) BUT i just LOOK(compare) at sales. If ps3 will sell less then 16 mln. it`s not a bad thing. BUT it`s JUST interesting to see how PS3 will do compared to PS2 sales. =)

I would then call that a total crash not being able to catch more market share the first Christmas holiday against a console which has been around longer....

longer.. and having bigger game library. =)
@endimion, next PS3 still DON`T have it`s killer`aps. =) It just have GOOD games, though unchatrted is really great one. And for other people, games like ratchet and heavenly sword also great experience. =) Btw, you can just compare only december ps3/x360 sales, ps3 still did more. =) And ps3 is outselling x360 every week since 2008, even earlier. =)

now I wonder why people think every PS2 user is going to shift to PS3 at some point??? looking at the difference in generation there is absolutely no sign or reason to believe that...

ps2 had over 30 game series, which will get their sequels on ps3, and most of them exclusively. =)

other point, do you really all believe there is actually 114 million+ PS2 user out there ???? a good part of it is rebuy, for the second if not the third time

just look at GT5 or FFXIII ingam graphics. I am not fan of racing games, but i am fan of jrpg games. Is there any other reason, why anyone wouldn`t like to play this games? =)

final point PS2 is still selling strong I highly doubt that people who just bought a PS2 in 2007 are just about to shit to the PS3.....

2010-2011. :)

that said I really don't see the point in comparing sales number between those 2, however you chose to put it....

*THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will PS3 be in 2008 compared to PS2 with it`s 16 mln. consoles sold in 2001.

and I still don't believe PS3 can win on brand name anymore.... what PS3 can hope to do is save the PS console all together on the long run...

good quality hardware, good quality software make a BRAND. =) Hardware quality for now workign on PS3 brand, later this year games quality will work. =]

@Road, oh, that`s why PS2 got 40k increase during this week. =) PS3 got Burnout 5 release this week, though game is multi, but still. =] But yeah, i expect to see ps3 favour over ps2 getting down this week, but will get up next week thnx to dmc4 bundle in Japan. +If rumor of ps3 pricecut in usa will become true.. then sales will just skyrocket, if not, we will se how ps3 will do. :)

@endimion, i would suggest you to make conclusions after 2008. =) Just half year ago PS3 was doomed, now arcticles speak about ps3 comeback. And by the end of 2008 they will just recomend buy only ps3. =))
If you want to compare M$ and Sony companies, create a thread, and i will give you facts why Sony is a BIGGER company, then M$. =)
