Zorg already admirably addressed your point.  By the end of the PS2's 7th year it had already sold over 120m units.  The PS360 were somewhat late bloomers regarding sales.  They were intended to sustain the longest generation the industry has ever seen.  As a perfect example I'll answer your post above with this:  The PS2 wasn't receiving games the caliber of GTAV in its 8th year.

Thats a pretty cheap excuse. And PS2 was getting popualr games in its late years (just not as popular as GTA) like GOW 2. And PS360 together sold 160m so i'd say thats pretty impressive.

And you're yet to adress the fact Wii as trouncing the PS2 in 2007 and 08

No, it's not a cheap excuse at all and my point still stands completely.  The PS2 didn't have even remotely the support of big titles in its 8th year that the HD twins have whether you want to admit it or not.  And BTW, GOW 2 came early in its 7th year...

Finally, the Wii was the biggest front-loaded phenomenon the industry has ever seen regarding consoles.  That's common knowledge; I really didn't think that needed addressing.

Oh God, stop grasping at starws already. PS1 was outselling SNES, (i think, i need confirmation for this) PS2 was outselling PS1, Wii was outselling PS2, and yes PS4 will start outselling PS360, this is what next gen systems are supposed to do, so why is the Second Coming of Christ when WiiU does it by 2-3k in one region (and still gets outsold badly WW)?
