@BengaBenga, you see, the problem is in supply.
Just look:
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2®1=Total+Other&cons2=PS3®2=Total+Other&cons3=PS3®3=------&weeks=18
Say what you see, do those 4 months of selling has ANY effect on TOTAL YEAR sales?
And that is 4 month. TOTAL sales since launch is all what matters, NOT months count.
All who wanted ps2 in 2000, bought ps2 in 2000, all who wanted ps3 in 2007, bought ps3 in 2007. There is no supply issues in 2001 and 2008.
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...
