How can you read that and think it confirms undertracking? Chart Track says that the PS3 "is to hit" 1 million faster than the PS2. That would mean it hasn't yet.

 

well, it took ps2 50 weeks to sell 1 million units, right? vgchartz currently has ps3 out at 47 weeks. once again, according to vgchartz, ps3 needs to sell over 150k in 3 weeks, in the uk, for the statement to make sense anyway. whether it "is to hit", or already has.

PS2 sold 1 million to retailers in 50 weeks. It will top that, and will probably reach 1 million sold-to-consumers faster. It's likely the PS2 took, what, 5 or 10 extra weeks to go from 1 million sold-to-retailers to 1 million sold-to-consumers? Meaning at the 55-60 week mark? That would mean the PS3 has not 3, but 7-12 weeks in which to hit 1 million.
