PS2 2001 sales numbers vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =)

My commentS? Have I posted here before?

If you only want people who think the Ps3 will come out on top (a very small group of people) why not post it in Sony forums? Here it will just be the cause of silly fanboism.

But hey, I'll try to tell you in a civil way.

Ok. First we take Japan. We take everything without Holiday sales first.

Now. I start out with simply taking away all sales from Ps2 in Japan, that were made from March 4th to 11 November 2000. Then we start comparing. Now, the Ps3 has a big advantage, since the Ps2 does not get any of its launch sales included.

Well, those sales are 3.3M. Source: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS2&reg%5B%5D=Japan&start=36590&end=36842. This info is not relevant to the math further on.

Okay. Then we start out, shall we.

Ps2: 11 November 2000 to 26th January 2002. Total sales: 4.5M. Source: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS2&reg%5B%5D=Japan&start=36842&end=37283

Ps3: 11 November 2006 to 26th January 2008. Total sales: 1.8M. Souce: http://vgchartz.com/hwtable.php?cons%5B%5D=PS3&reg%5B%5D=Japan&start=39040&end=39474

Total sales difference for Japan: Ps2 leads with 2.7M, even though it had a great disadvantage! Incredible, huh?

I'll now post this, and continue on my next post, because my internet connection is really bad right now, so too much writing means it will be unable to write more.
