@Linkzmaxm, well ONE of the point of this thread is to see, will PS3 able to sell on it`s 2nd year of life ~16 mln. just like PS2 did on it`s second year.
But we are counting YEARLY sales, not sales per region.
In every report from companies like Sony, M$, Nintendo, THEY count YEARLY sales, NOT 12 month in particular region.
And YES, extra time of sales in regions during first year of PS3 life helped to gain in TOTAL sales. So what? it`s PS2 problem, that it didn`t have WW launch, as long as PS3 problem, that Euro launch was 4 month LATER.
However, people compare TOTAL x360/wii sales with TOTAL ps3 sales, though PS3 wasn`t selling in Europe for 4 month.
So what is your POINT?
Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...
2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.
Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.
1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.
PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
PS2 2001 vs PS3 2008 sales numbers =) + New games released in Japan by 2009 that passed 100k so far
