DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ?!?!??! THAT DOESN'T WORK!

At week 45, the PS2 did not have as much time to sell as PS3.

At week 61, the PS3 had an extra 16 weeks to sell.

For weekly sales, it is fine. For total sales it is not.

For weekly, the parallels you need are out in all regions.

For total, the parallels you need are TIMEFRAME and out in all regions.

You are not using the timeframe parallel! You have to use the SAME STARTING WEEK AND END WEEK. If I say the 360 has sold more when it was at week 68 than when Wii was at week 31, that is not a good comparison, is it? Because that is the same logic you are using.

I do not know how to make it any simpler than that.

 It's not even just that.  He's counting at a time when the PS2 was severly supply constrained too.  Which just doesn't work when drawing a paralel because the PS2 just has more demand.  It's only comparative when they both arent' supply constrained because otherwise the PS2 has way more demand that just doesn't translate correctly.
