I'll have to look up the numbers as I'm a little busy right now don't have time right this moment, but it's out there. It's a little skewed to the PS4 because the PS4 launched in North America and Europe relatively simultaneously where the PS2 launched only in Japan alone first for the first 8 months or something.
But most people for example are projecting the PS4 to sell 180k or so its first June in the upcoming June NPD.
Do you want to know what the PS2 was selling its first June in North America? 345k. That's even before the big gun games started rolling out too. PS4 might be able to match the Wii just because the Wii fell off the face of the earth after 2010, but PS2? No way.

Its first june, is that before Xbox or GC were out ? and when it had 9 games release.
Why not comapre other monoths ? seems you cherry picked that one for a reason.

I only have data going back to June 2001 ... but this is the PS2's summer 2001:
June: 345k
July: 352k
August: 322k
September: 343k
It's sales actually accelerated after the GameCube and XBox came out, those were no detterant at all.
I'm just saying, don't assume things so easily. Not only was the PS2 a *beast* on top of these numbers it was also putting up big numbers in Japan, it will be very, very difficult for the PS4 to realistically keep pace.

Not easy nor difficult either. Aug will be intresting, Madden crowd will be entering this gen and Sept will likely go to PS4 with destiny doing its thing. Japan is irrelevent with over all world wide gaming growth especially in Europe. PS2 did what 100m in sales before Ps3 came out, thats what 6/ years on market ? for an average of about 16m, nothing overly difficult there.
