You need to separate into regions because the PS2 launched in Japan 7 months ahead of its NA launch, while PS3 launched in both regions at the same time. Otherwise it's just not a valid comparison. Unless you're also claiming that the Wii is selling more than twice as fast as the PS2 and is thus on pace for 250 million sales worldwide.

If you guys want to cling to your past victories with the PS2 and shut yourself off from reality, that's fine, but don't try to pretend that a PS2 sale today really necessarily means a PS3 sale 5 years from now, or that the fact that the PS2 is still selling is in any way surprising when every other winning console has done the same thing.

PS2 sales are no more relevant now than GBA sales were last year when it was beating the PS3 every month.
