You are truly hilarious to have a discussion with. You do half of the arguing with yourself. Keep coming with the comments though, they are truly entertaining. By the way, PS1 didn't launch worldwide until late '95. That's why any logical person combines year one and two. The PS1 only had a limited Japan launch in December '94 with total sales that are literally statistically irrelevant, so including it on its own is silly. Go by worldwide launch years (as vgsales wiki logically did) and the sales curves are 95% similar. But hey, if you want to keep arguing and try to convince someone that the majority of Wii owners weren't gamers, that it was much more of a fad than PS1, that a person who plays Wii Sports would never play COD and other baseless comments, by all means keep agruing with yourself. You may even be able to convince you that you are right. |
How utterly hilarious. No the sales curve are not 95% similar, give it up you are completely wrong with that. Japan made up nearly 50% of the PS1s shipments by August 96, so including the Japanese launch on its own is very much logical, after all people don't start counting PS3 sales starting March 2007 because that's when it became available in Europe or start counting PS4 sales starting in February because that's when it launched in Japan. The PS1 had only sold 1 million units after 9 months in the US and 500k after 4 months in Europe (just like the Wii right?), so Japan was the most important market for the system back then.
And even if it was logical to count the first fiscal year when the PS1 was available only in Japan and the second fiscal year as a single year, which it absolutely isn't, then there are still significant and very important differences between the 2 and if you choose to ignore those then you are "blind to the facts".
Cause as we're talking about the longevity of the systems here, you would have to willfully ignore the important years 7-10 which obviously show how much shorter the Wiis life is than the PS1s.
