Crazzyman i likw what you are doing. i think it is very interesting,

EVERY1 STOP BASHING HIM ITS HIS THREAD SO IF YOU DONT LIKE IT LEAVE.

When you think of it this year 2008 the ps3 has been selling really well. it only seems like it is not doing well because of the Wii numbers but remember if the ps2 was released the same time as the Wii it would look like the ps2 was doing rubbish aswell.

18th week UPDATE:

PS2 May 6th - PS3 May 4th
USA - 81k <> USA - 151k
Japan - 56k <> Japan - 11k
Others - 70k <> Others - 197k
Total - 207k <> Total - 359k
Golden week has no effect on ps3. GTA4 release in USA and Europe. As expected, PS3 numbers increased.)
PS2 vs PS3 = -91k

Next week, the net difference of -91K will become 0. Good job Sony, for keeping up with PS2 for this long.

 



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379
Original cast: Badonkadonkhr, sc94597 allaboutthegames885, kingofwale, Soriku, ctk495, skeezer, RDBRaptor, Mirson,

Episode 1: OOPSY!
selnor: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)
CrazzyMan on 11 May 2008

100-150k Japan. (10k with no GTA4)
200-250k Usa. (150k with GTA4)
200-250k Europe. (200k with GTA4)

So, yeah, 500k is minimum.
And MGS4 is exclusive, instead of being multiplatform like GTA4 and also coming in Japan.

So the PS3 is virtually on track with the PS2? That is mighty impressive! Keep up the good work, CrazzyMan.

@crazyyman

but MGS is nowhere near as big as GTA...even if it is exclusive..

GTA IV has outsold MGS3 in one week & it will outsell MGS2 & MGS1 next week (Ps360 combined)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

It will be interesting to see what happens to this thread when the wheels fall off this comparison ...

Up until (about) the middle of April in 2001 the PS2 was supply limited in North America and Europe, it started averaging over 300,000 units per week leading up to (and following) the release of Gran Turismo 3, and then had a massive christmas because of the release of Grand Theft Auto 3.

 As much as I'd like to see that happen, you're living in a world of pixies and fairies if you believe PS3 will sell that much in Japan MGS4 week.
