Your right if you talk about the selling rate. If you look at smaller sections of time periodes.

But as soon as you talk sales over time, its the only way to do it, 1 consoles launch date vs the others, and units sold, over that time periode.

Im just pointing out we dont know for a fact that the PS4 is behinde the curve yet.

6 months from now we can compair and see.

Lol, so you are stacking the deck in the PS4's favour, since the first three quarters of the PS2's lifespan it was only out in Japan.

If we re not doing Launch time to date, and sales to date based on launch time.

Then the stat we end up getting outta it isnt what we re looking for (is the PS4 behinde the sales curve compaired to the PS2).

I didnt write the "rules" or stack anything in the PS4s favor (its not my fault the PS2 launched 9months early in japan).

Im just saying if you pick and choose what statistics count, you can make up any kinda conclusion you want. The results are kinda meaningless then.

 

Yes sales rate, if you only count World wide, the PS2 would be selling faster (it had 20m+ years), and this year was only a 17.7m for the PS4.

Doesnt take a rocket scientist to figur that out.

But if your talking about sales rates (launch date to date, and sales over it) the PS4 probably isnt behinde the PS2 yet.
