His chart goes up to 200 weeks, and the ps3 has been on the market for well over a year. After the ps2 had been on the market for a year, the supply constraints had come to an end, so anybody that would've wanted the system would've been able to buy one. Needless to say, a year into each system's life total sales were roughly the same. The same amount of people that wanted a ps3 in the first year and bought roughly equate to the same amount of people that wanted a ps2 in the first year, and bought. All of this despite the fact taht the ps3 cost $600 for half of its first year.
If I understand what you are saying you are incorrect. The PS2 sold comparitively much faster than the PS3. The PS2 just staggered its launch by a whole lot more giving it the appearance of poor year 1 sales.
