this should be good
*getd popcorn*

Crazzyman's logic in this thread reminds me of Calvinball.

Other kids' games are all such a bore!
They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score!
Calvinball is better by far!
It's never the same! It's always bizarre!
You don't need a team or a referee!
You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me!

Ok, dtewi
ps3 is behind of ps2 in sales devided by regions,
and very CLOSE by total sales since launch.

What is your point?

My point, is that PS3 can sell very close to 16 mln. on 2nd year since launch time, just like PS2 did that.
In terms of sales, PS3 is selling more or less in some regions at this week compared to ps2 since it`s launch.
BUT i don`t compare sales years(weeks), i compare life years.

And console life starts, when it get first time available on the market, not when it`s available WW. And you CAN`T deny that.
Very simple, so what problem do you have? :)

From June 30th until September 31st the PS2 averaged 240,000 units, the PS3 has averaged 200,000 units so far this year and has seen the release of the biggest multiplatform game of the generation and the PS3's biggest exclusive of the year. I think it is safe to assume that the PS3 will be outsold by 30,000 to 60,000 units per week (on average) and fall 400,000 to 800,000 additional units behind the PS2 by the end of September.

Okay, I'm back. Now I am going to make my point.

Japan Week 52-85:

PS2 PS3

1,991,032 948,749

Result: PS3 losing by 1042283



America Week 52-84:

PS2 PS3

5254840 2824075

Result: PS3 losing by 2430765



Others Week 52-84:

PS2 PS3

4285216 4059629

Result: PS3 losing by 225587



Total Loss: 3698635

Conclusion: (for CrazzyMan)

The PS3 in the same TimeFrame as the PS2 is losing when it has had multiple price cuts, a large number of "saviors" and numeous SKU's.

Even though it may have had been neck and neck with the PS2 at launch, this is only because of splintered launches. Right now, the PS3 is currently trailing the PS2 at the same point of life.

Since it is currently trailing in each region, it means that it can never hope to accomplish its sales. For it to accomplish PS2 sales, it has to bring its WW up to PS2 sales. That means it has to bring each region up.

It is currently behnd in each region. That means it is trailing the PS2. Right now, it is behind in region sales. That means, (if we use your chart) the PS2 will surpass it since it is losing WW. If it is losing WW, it can not possily be selling the same as the PS2.

Final Word: The PS3 is selling worse than the PS2.

 QFT/thread

Might be true but it won't end the thread and you know it...

I intend to stop the thread!

-Quote From Avatar: The Last Airbender with some twists (Episode 120 Siege of the North: Part 2)

dtewi, simple questions:
How old is PS3 by July 2008 (in terms of years or weeks) ?
How old was PS2 by July 2001 ?

Now, can you compare Life time sales or not?
PS3 is not doing as good as PS2 devided by regions. True.
PS3 is doing as good as PS2 by total sales since first launch. True.

 I know it, but I at least need to try.
