How much faster did it reach it than the 2nd fastest console to reach that milestone?

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=All&cons2=PS2&reg2=All&cons3=DS&reg3=All&weeks=110

About 20 weeks faster than the DS and about 30 weeks faster than the PS2.


Yet this graph says that the PS2 is selling at the same rate as the PS3.

Still, quite a nice accomplishment for the Wii. The thing is a freak of nature.


I hope that was sarcasm.  I suspect every moderator here knows the falacy with thsi chart by now.   Just in case you don't, the launches are staggered making this chart useless.  Do the same compairosn but use individual territories and you'll see what I mean.   PS3 up until just 2 months ago was charting almost equal with GC, not PS2.


 Thats exactly what Montana was pointing out. Rol used the charts to say the Wii got to 25M 30 weeks before the PS2. But the PS2 launch was staggered, unlike the Wii which was released in the big three regions all within a month. 

It is difficult to tell which reached 25M first between the Wii and PS2.
