I googled it and found this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=4263 it's in the first post
"According to the data provided by the link above the PS3 at just under 40 weeks has outsold the PS2 during the same time period after launch. This means IMHO that the PS3 is not doing as badly as the media has suggested or that many people on this site have been so vocal about. That being said, it is reasonable to assume that the sales trend will continue and eventually outsell the PS2 in overall sales by the end of the systems lifecycle"

Reading the thread you linked past the first few posts shows why it's wrong doesn't it?
"WORLDWIDE PS2 NUMBERS DO NOT INCLUDE DATA FROM PAL REGIONS!!! Sorry I made that so large but this argument comes up every week ..."
EDIT: Beaten to it.

Yeah, but still. The "PS3 was selling poorly until the slim" line doesn't hold true, either. The PS3 always sold well. Not as good as the Wii because that thing was a freak of nature but, aside from one year, it always outsold the 360 when you align their launches. How does that make the PS3 an underdog? The only thing PS3 struggled at was overcoming the one year of uncontested sales the 360 had.
