Had Sony sold this many PS3 if PS2 hasn't been this successful.?

I don't think the PS3 would be as successful as it has been to this point if it wasn't for the PS2. You know all those comments to the effect of "Wow, how is Sony and/or PS3 doing that?" every other week or so despite Sony's alleged lack of games? Yeah, that's the PS2 talking. The Playstation brand is powerful.
