This is pretty intense. What is the fastest a PS2 sold 7 mill. Did they ever do it in 2 months? I doubt it.

It did it in a 8 week period beginning 11/24/03. The PS2's sales were definitely not as well sustained as the DS, though, which is why the DS will surpass it.

On an unrelated 360/PS3/PS2 note, look at this chart of weekly sales:

They're tracking very similarly.

They're tracking very similarly THIS YEAR. That's an awful thing for the PS3 and 360. They can't sell more than a 7 year old console.

Edit: also, the PS2 never did that in that period.  Look http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS3&reg1=America&cons2=PS2&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&start=37948&end=37990&weekly=1

That's barely 7 million consoles.  Nowhere near 10 million.  The PS2 has never come close to 10 million in 8 weeks.

The post i quoted asked what the fastest a PS2 ever sold 7 million was.  The 10 million question was someone else.

I guess the bottom line is that the PS2 was never the sales monster that the DS is, despite DS shortages. 



ds and playstation are Different...beasts all together

potential owner of the Ds is every individual person...

potential for a Console - TYPICALLY is 1 maybe 2 consoles per dwelling...

DS is going to destroy the ps2 sales record..potential number of owners is easily 5x what the ps2 had...

GOO. DS is jsut a monster. It really does print money. This would be quite an amazing feat if it does it.

No, the Wii can't sell like the DS. The deman in Japan and Europ isn't strong enough.

Things weren't always this way for the DS either.

Just remember that the library is always increasing, they still haven't released colors, and haven't done any price cuts (most of the PS2 adopters came after it was under $200), etc... There are still a lot moves that they haven't had to make, but obviously they will eventually.



To Each Man, Responsibility

This thread makes me realize I have to get a DS. But I cant make myself do it untill DQ IX gets out, gaah!



Nintendo & Sony supporter:

 Consoles: Wii & PS3.

The Wii has a shot to Sell more than the PS2's 1.7(I think this is the record Reggie was talking about)

I predict 1.65 but it could be 2 mil, just depend on Europe's supply.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.
