PS2 shipped 100 million in 5 years and 9 months. When will PS4 do the same?

I wasn't the one talking about alignment, that was someone else (I'm way to lazy to look it up). But whatever, I just wanted to point out that the opinions in VGC are diverse and obviously Sony was making most of their success and failure alone (as did the others). The only thing about competition is, that with working competition your failures hurt more than without.

I was the one to bring it before anyone else brought... but on any thread that talk about the speed of sales of PS4 someone will try to dismiss it by aligning per region PS2 to say it smoke PS4 on speed.

And sure, strong competition can make your life harder.

Aligning per region or not is just different metrics. If it makes a milestone in one metric but not the other, it still makes the milestone in the first metric. So that all is irrelevant, because the thread asks if the PS4 will be able to clear a milestone. To dismiss that, if it does that but not simultanously clears another milestone is kinda - strange. Sure, I could say the PS4 does not sell 500 million, but what has that to do with the other milestone discussed here.

Anyways, I was answering about Sony (as any other manufacturer) is mainly itself responsible for successes or failures of it's products. The aligning discussion confuses me. So I'm out, I stated my opinion that Sony made their successes and failures on their own.
