Going by the sales numbers in the OP...

PS3's 1st year was 17.9% of the PS2's 1st year.
PS3's 2nd year was 43.8% of the PS2's 2nd year.
PS3's 3rd year was 42.9% of the PS2's 3rd year.
PS3's 4th year was 63.2% of the PS2's 4th year.

Yet some people expect that after 10 years, PS3 will have sold 71.4% as much as the PS2?

It would need to start selling at PS2 levels or DS levels for a while to catch up to where you guys think it can go. It's just not going to happen.

Wow, that really put its all in perspective

How's that perspective now?

No, seriously, could someone update the PS3 vs. PS2 comparison?

NVM, did it myself

 

PS3's 1st year was 22.3% of the PS2's 1st year.

PS3's 2nd year was 49.4% of the PS2's 2nd year.

PS3's 3rd year was 48.6% of the PS2's 3rd year.

PS3's 4th year was 68.4% of the PS2's 4th year.

 

PS3's 5th year was 86.9% of the PS2's 5th year.

PS3's 6th year was 78.3% of the PS2's 6th year.

PS3's 7th year was 86.9% of the PS2's 7th year. (PS3 still undertracked considerably)

PS3's 8th year will be ~90-100% of the PS2's  8th year

 

 

That "perspective" you speak of was incredibly deceiving. A perfect example of the past not representing the future.

Interesting analysis.
