on the other hand
the ps2 was months out in all regions when it hit it's first holyday season
while the ps3 was just launched a month earlier in only japan and america
so if you consider the first full two years from both systems laucnhes from their japanese release
the ps2 had 2 full blown holyday seasons
while the ps3 had only 1 full blown holyday season
and the first one was also with a lot less games cause the system was just launched a couple of weeks in japan and america in novermber 2006
so actually
the ps2 was launched on much better times..
