Y'all know the NES and SNES lasted much longer than this, and in fact the PS1 lasted just short of 10 years... the PS2 is only following footsteps.

The PS1 had only shipped 73 million when the PS2 came out in Japan, and it went on to ship over 100 million, with the last shipment being 1.6 million for the 6 months ending March 2005

In 2003 it was still shipping more than the Gamecube or X-box.

The only sales data VGC has for PS1 is Japan though, which means we don't know exactly how it compares to the PS2 at the same point, but for Japan only it was selling more per week in March 2002 than the PS2 is in March 2008.
