Im not a hater, It's just common sense, at least he would have to say he uses 2008 and not 2007 for convenience, because it makes PS3 look better, and not bcause its a better comparison.

25th week UPDATE:

PS2 June 24th - PS3 June 22nd
USA - 75k <> USA - 55k
Japan - 83k <> Japan - 25k
Others - 70k <> Others - 84k
Total - 228k <> Total - 164k
2nd MGS4 week. PS3 sales strangely went back to normal.
PS2 vs PS3 = -112k

Strange indeed.

/sarcasm

Hey Crazzy, can you make a week by week comparison of the PS3 against PS2 in each region from launch?

Nah, I'll do it by myself.

dtewi, i`m fine with this one:
http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&weeks=80
IF you care about sales in each region, then make comparison side by side in China, Australia, Brasilia, Mexico, India, Poland and etc. /sarcasm
I care about TOTAL sales SINCE launch, that`s why i made this thread. =)

PS2 sold 16.5 million in 2001, i don't see PS3 doing this. And after this Ps2 sold over 20 millions a year many times.

yea listen to the dtewi!

Weekly takes too much time, so here is LTD Year 1 per Region.

Americas-

PS2             PS3

4,869,163    2,339,843

Result: PS3 losing by 2,529,320

Japan- 

PS2             PS3

3,937,517    1,286,305

Result: PS3 losing by 2,651,212

Others-

PS2              PS3

4,339,714     2,181,653

Result: PS3 losing by 2,158,061

Since the other's sales were splintered due to the Europe launch, I will start the comparison from Week 18 when it was launched it Europe.

Others Week 18 to Week 70-

PS2              PS3

6,046,215     4,139,348

Result: PS3 losing by 1,906,867

Using the Total Others Sales from launch, Americas from launch, and Japan from launch, PS3 is trailing the PS2 by 7,338,593.

When the PS3 was readily availabe in all regions (which means using Total Others Week 18 to Week 70) the PS3 is behind by 7,087,399.

Looks like I discredited your entire "PS3 is selling like PS2" theory in one post.

If you want, I can post Year 2 up?

There is a simple reason that this chart fails.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&weeks=80

It is because the launches were very seperated from each other in the PS2, and they were closer together with the PS3.

In my post, it is shown that the PS3 is trailing behind in each region. If you're trailing behind in each region, you are trailing behind WW.
