| Ajax said: but still! ok the ps2 line will see a spike soon that the ps3 line won't see beacause the holydays aren't aligned sounds logical but months after that ps2 spike the ps3 will get a spike that the ps2 won't get and the question is will the ps3 be able to spike back to the line of the ps2 |
Correct and if you look at the PS2's sales over the course of its life the 2nd holiday spike is its first big one. The third is even bigger (and held the record for most hardware sales in a single week until the DS took it this last X-mas). The point we are making is that not just that they are misaligned but that its also comparing against a period of PS2 sales before it really took off as the major success we all think of it as.
This graph illustrates this well.
Even the Wii is overshadowed by the PS2 sales after its first big holiday.
