Everyone knows comparing the PS3 and PS4 to the PS2 is silly.

But comparing the 3DS to the DS is fine because it's Nintendo so like, whatever man.

Or some other crud.

It's dumb.

This does happen frequently though.

I've only seen the PS4 compared to the PS2 by people thonking it will outsell it. 

And...?

It has outsold it so far. It's the fastest selling console ever released vs. the highest selling console ever. It's a valid comparison.
