| Fight-the-Streets said: (..) I also like to look into movie record sales whereas some older movie actually sold better than the current champions if you consider inflation, that we have much more cinemas today and the movies are shown in more countries (incl. big ones like China). However, ultimately, the raw numbers are what count, that's what people are interested in, fair or unfair doesn't matter. But to come back to PS2-DS-PS4 sales comparison, it's a far more clear win for PS2 compared to the movies because those arguing with inflation have a much stronger point than reasons like Soundwave bring up. |
This is off-topic, and I agree with your point about the PS2/DS thing but I just want to say;
I'd say with movies there's merit to comparing old versus new by taking into account inflation and such instead of plainly comparing raw numbers. I mean there's no reality where The Last Jedi could be considered more successful than A New Hope.
