So the PS3 is virtually on track with the PS2? That is mighty impressive! Keep up the good work, CrazzyMan.

maybe because of GTAIV?

 

Maybe, but the PS2 had GTA 3 at the same point in it's lifespan. Well, a few months earlier.

Well that and the PS2 was only out in Japan for the first 7 months of it's lifespan... AND severly supply limited. Then Supply limited when it started in the US and Europe.

A better indicator is to compare each market sepratley. Which Crazyman doesn't use because... well it paints PS3 in a much more negative light... since the PS3 is behind everywhere... by significant margins... it's closest in Japan... where the PS3 is 1.5 million behind or so. In the other two markets it's behind by about 3.5 million and 4.5 million.

Actually aligning every launch instead of just when it launched in japan puts PS3 down by 9.5 million. As you can see. Not as cheery an outlook.

The real question is, when this thread starts painting a less rosy situation for the PS3 (it's bound to happen due to those reasons), what will the next thread be? We can always count on CrazzyMan to find a metric which appears to point at PS3 domination.
