To illustrate why the All vs. by-region comparison for PS2 vs. PS3 is skewed:

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=America&cons2=PS3&reg2=America&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Europe&cons2=PS3&reg2=Europe&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=156

The only region where the PS3 is even coming close to tracking equally to the PS2 is in Europe. And it's still a million behind par.

 

The only thing that really matter going forward, is the slop of the line. As long as they are selling the same amount each week as they did with the PS2, they will sell huge amounts. Aside from Japan, that's happening how.

Again, I don't think it will reach PS2 numbers (or even break 100m), but if it did, I would not be shocked.
