It's this thread a little redundant?

I mean is you wanna compare how PS3 is faring compared to PS2 at the same point in the lifetime, this site does provide some very handy graphs of it's own data which I suppose you go go look at every week if that's what you're into.

Charts a whole lotta like this one:

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2®1=All&cons2=PS3®2=All&cons3=PS2®3=All&weeks=90

This has been explained a whole lot of times, but here it goes:

PS2 launched in April 2000 in Japan, Oktober 2000 in America and November 2000 in Others
PS3 launced in November 2006 in Japan and America and in March 2007 in Others.

So you have 7 months PS2 in Japan only, and it was heavily supply constrained.
