USA - 85k <> USA - 59k
Japan - 88k <> Japan - 16k
Others - 68k <> Others - 90k
Total - 241k <> Total - 165k
Guitar Hero Aerosmith release in USA.
PS2 vs PS3 = -211k

Wait, so the PS3 is just over 2 million right now, from its launch and there have already been 2 full holiday seasons behind it.

You are expecting it to DOUBLE its base in Japan by the end of this holiday season?

That's crazzy.

So, Crazzy, first, now that I've got your attention, "haha" about the FFXIII exclusivity. I think you had that coming. I'm sorry. I scoff at your feverant devotion to all things sony.

Also, even if the PS3 has a 5 million Xmas or whatever, the Wii will outsell it, wanna bet?

Sales are the only things that matter, really, and nothing you do, no game you love, will ever be able to make the kiddy Wii stop owning, destroying, and man-gimp dominating the Playstation 3 in Sales, the only thing that matter, for the rest of this generation. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can get past denial in your stages of mourning your innocence that Nintendo took by force the day Wii-Fit outsold the PS3 in Japan.

You my friend, are a walking, talking parody of the SDF's take on sales figures. The reason you're tolerated and embrassed with our love and affection, is because your predictions are so far out there, nobody will back you on them, and proving them wrong gives us something to look forward too.

I just thought I'd remind you of that. Keep up the good work. =))

Your biggest fan,

That would be because the PS2 finaly had some decent supply, something Crazzy doesn't see as a problem.

This thread is like watching a bunch of guys trying to make a rock bleed - they might grind it to the dust but they won't get a droplet.

Damn right you can't compare Wii sales in USA with any other console, such a comparison would be totally unfair to the Wii due to this crippling disadvantage it has with its stock situation in the US.

But I am feeling like a bastard today so I'm gonna do it anyway =)=); I'm gonna do the dastardly deed and compare Sony's mighty PS2 in 2001 to Nintendo's crippled-by-short-supply little Wii in 2008, just like this thread does for Ps2 and PS3. After all, PS3 and Wii came out at the same time in America so no difference, right? =)=)=)

Here we go:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2001 to 14th Jul 2001:

A mightily long 23 in... eurh I mean a mighty 2,36M consoles. Beat that tiny Wii! =)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)=)

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 12th Jul 2008:

Haha, you see how unfair this comparison is now? Stacking the deck in PS2's favor helped it crush... WHAT?!?! oh wait, I forgot the PS2 was supply constrained in America at that time, so it's unfair to the PS2 and that just wouldn't do now, would it? =)=)=)

So let's compare it to 2002 when the PS2 was not unfairly disadvantaged =):

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2002 to 13th Jul 2002:

See, I told you it was totally unfair to the PS2. With a better supply it is totally trashing the... eurh... =)=)=)... one minute... what I meant was...=)=)...2003, we should compare the Wii to PS2 2003 to be sure it is not supply constrained =). It's the last comparison I promise =)=) ...as we can be sure that PS2 was not supply constrained in 2003 as it got its best number that year =)=) for the time period we are currently comparing =)=):

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 04th Jan 2003 to 12th Jul 2003:

Nice number isn't it =)=). I'm gonna repeat Wii numbers because they are not on my screen and I have ADD so I don't remember how bad they were, what with it being held up by short supply and all =)=)=)=). Here they are:

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 12th Jul 2008:

Eeerrhh.. =)=)=) Let's see... =)=)... See, I told ya we couldn't compare them! That's why the above is total bunk and not at all representative of the Wii's success in the US in comparison to the PS2's success. So from this we can of course conclude that PS3 will do PS2 numbers in America as the Wii is out of the running due to a faulty comparison =)=)=)

@ bitmap frogs: love your manny avy. The fun of Crazzyman and MikeB and a few others is seeing how they will twist and ignore stuff to make the world fit to their theory instead of changing their theories to fit to the world.

this thread makes me lol

PS3 will be out for 10 years, 2007-2017, it will average 10m sales per year for that time and sell 100m by the end of 2017

that's good for lulz

i wish the ps3 cost the same price as the wii, so then we would all see how the ps3 rapes it, left, right center! the only thing stopping the ps3 is its price! if it sells so well with such a high price tag then imagine how it would sell with a lower price. the price cut will come eventually but there is no point of doing it now as the ps3 is giving the 360 an ass whooping!
