I wasn't comparing LTD sales for more than then other. I was comparing the same years. Comparing LTD is okay with the same timeframe. It doesn't have to have the same date.

Also, with the tone of this thread and your 100 Million prediction which is zany (unless you believe the Sony PR bullshit with the 10 year plan), I assumed you thought the PS3 would sell like the PS2 which I still think you do.

Even if this was true, the PS2 had a 7 year headstart, and the PS3 won't last 7 years because it's not the market leader.  Only market leaders last 7 years.  Look at the XBox, GameCube, N64, Dreamcast, etc. etc., none of them lasted 7 years.  Only the PS2, PS1, SNES, NES, and Game Boy did, because they were all market leaders.

The PS2 also had the biggest and best games of their year still waiting to be released ... Most of the games like Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy were released in the second half of 2001.

Crazzy starts his math when the PS3 was out in America for 16 months, Japan for 16 months, and Europe for 10 months, which is a total of 42 months on the market.

Yet he starts his math when the PS2 was out in Japan for 10 months, America for 3 months, and Europe for 2 months, which is a total of 15 months on the market.

The PS3 has had 3 times as long to sell, and is STILL losing, so his entire argument is just highlighting how much of an abysmal failure the PS3 is when compared to its successful older sibling.

26th week UPDATE:

PS2 July 1st - PS3 June 29th
USA - 82k <> USA - 49k
Japan - 86k <> Japan - 18k
Others - 71k <> Others - 91k
Total - 239k <> Total - 159k
Battlefield: Bad Company release in USA/Europe.
PS2 vs PS3 = -187k 

the ps3 is going to be taking a serious bashing over the next couple o fmonths if it dont speed up. this is where the ps2 started to kick into gear.

Without price drop this fall i don't think PS3 will sell any where near PS2 levels for the rest of the year.

July-August-September.

in 13 weeks:
Japan from 4,81m -> 5,84m = 1,03m or 79k per week.
USA from 3,49m -> 4,62m = 1,13m or 87k per week.
Europe from 2,47m -> 3,44m = 0,97m or 74k per week.

In Europe PS3 doing per average 90-100k. So, it will do fine during this period.
In USA, we should wait for NPD numbers, then it will be clear how it will do. But 80GB bundle definitely will move some units.
The only problem is Japan, 20k vs 79k, this is where ps3 is going to be behind a lot.
Overall not bad. =)

Games that will come in this period:
Soul Calibur 4
Afrika
Disgaea 3
Eternal Sonata
Star wars:U
Saint Row 2
Mercinaries 2
Brothers in arms

Most multiplatform games and not very big releases. =) So unless, there will be a pricecut, we shouldn`t excpect spikes of sales during this time.

FYI in about 10 weeks this is going to be moot. The PS3 is getting old enough that the worldwide week for week comparison is starting to get to the weeks where the PS2 truly begins to dominate. The PS2, despite breaking records with its launch, didn't have a great launch in relation to the sales from the mid portion of its life onward.

To be specific the next 10 weeks in this WW comparison (weeks 87 through 97) will see the PS2 sell some 7.56 million units. While the PS3 will likely sell ~1.5 million units during the same period. By the end of the next 10 weeks the PS3 will likely be about ~6.82 million units behind the PS2 from its current deficit of ~760k...at least according to this comparison.

I'm content to just let Crazzy keep posting and let the numbers speak for themselves.

^In other words this analysis will make CrazzyMan look more and more stupid. We will all get our lulz at his expense lol.
