I'm not trying to single you out for this because I know Dodece started these "trend of downward sales" comparisons but I just have to say...
I've seen multiple people use the 150m v PS3 figure. It's a rubbish comparison to make because ~ 50m of those PS2 sales came after PS3 released. Either use the figure for PS2 at the launch of PS3 (i.e. ~100 million) or don't make the comparison until the PS3 has stopped production. It's still a downward trend, no doubt, but less extreme than people like to make it out to be.
Sorry, just a pet peeve.
