Since Crazzy got banned, and I missed the weekly updates, I decided to go back and check the numbers (since adjustments have been made) and post them. No need to thank me Crazzy!

For the first time this year, the PS2 has sold more than the PS3 has. Depending on how the PS3 does from now until GTA4 launch, the PS3 might overtake the PS2 again the week of and after GTA4, but then after that I'm expecting the PS2 to stay ahead of the PS3 from then on, with the PS2 ending the year with 16 million sales, and the PS3 ending with around 12 million for the year.

For reference here is the table for cumulative sales for the PS2, and here for the PS3 (in 2001 and 2008 respectively, Jan through March only). The difference between those numbers is 85k or so, and its missing Japan data for the current week, which should be about 20k, which makes the numbers very close (meaning hopefully they are all right).

PS2 March 18th - PS3 March 15th
USA - 127k <> USA - 64k
Japan - 48k <> Japan - 17k
Others - 70k <> Others - 71k
Total - 245k <> Total - 152k

PS2 vs PS3 = -67k

PS2 March 25th - PS3 March 23rd
USA - 129k <> USA - 84k
Japan - 64k <> Japan - 16k
Others - 74k <> Others - 75k
Total - 267k <> Total - 175k

PS2 vs PS3 = -159k

Once again, Others saves PS3 from being outsold by the PS2 in each region. Can it continue? Check back next week on... Crazzy Comparisons!

This is incredibly stupid. PS3 has been out a year longer, and PS2 had incredible shortages in the US in early 2001 until mid-March. Plus it's an old thread. Start a new one, hopefully with some rational discussion.

Upon further review, carry on.

*sigh*

I said no to Crazzy about 20 times...

It's not stupid, his arguments make a lot of sense.

10th week UPDATE:

PS2 March 11th - PS3 March 09th
USA - 125k <> USA - 67k
Japan - 54k <> Japan - 21k

PS2 vs PS3 = +80k

sigh..stop it crazzyman, you are only making an embarrassment of yourself, the differences will keep getting bigger and bigger..

11th week UPDATE:

PS2 March 18th - PS3 March 16th
USA - 127k <> USA - 68k

Crazzyman I think PS3 will sell 18 million PS3 consoles sold for 2008.
