Is this a fair prediction?

"However I've debunked this idea that the PS3 & Wii VS PS2 aligned launch graphs are directly indicative of future"

You are 100% correct. They are not directly indicative. I was not arguing that, and my predictions do not rest soley on VGcharz charts. See my above reply to Viper1 for more on taking into account both staggered, aligned and region specific charts.

The PS3 price is going to be more indicative of future sales than is any of those colored lines on these charts. ;)

First, note that I was writing my reply when yours was posted (3 minutes apart in posting).  

Second, what was the point of bringing up the charts if you believed it to be a minor indicator of the future?  Perhaps I missed it but I just don't see what point you were making.

As for the price issue, its a speculative point you're making not an assured thing, wording is important .  With that said I do think the PS3 will get a larger boost due to this, but I doubt it will be enough to ever see it past 80M lifetime, with or without a 10 year lifespan...but now we're getting into the prediction debate which I'd prefer to avoid since it's somewhat pointless.

My purpose was to stop yet another Sony domination prediction predicated on the PS2 VS PS3 aligned launch graph, nothing more.
