The PS2 was younger in 2002 than the PS3 is in 2008.

How old is PS3 by July 2008 (in terms of years or weeks) ?
How old was PS2 by July 2001 ?

LOLz.

 

I meant 2001.

PS3 as of the end of June 2008 is 86 weeks old worldwide

It is 86 weeks in Japan
It is 85 weeks in America
It is 67 weeks in Europe

PS3 as of the end of June 2001 was 69 weeks old worldwide (give or take a week)

but the more telling ages are seprated regionally

It was 69 weeks in Japan
It was 40 weeks in America
It was 36 weeks in Europe

Pretty much all of those 36/40 weeks in America and Europe were also heavily supply constrained, (you have used the last 26 weeks of each region so far I believe) and in Japan I think supply was tight.

meanwhile there has been ample supply of PS3s for all 26 weeks, with the 80GB bundle exception in the last couple of weeks.
