What that is actually a nice thread (well the first page). It's kind of funny to see the evolution especially how on GTA and MSG the PS3 came back to PS2's numbers. But then this summer is massive fail it seems ^^

Again.....so what even if that does happen? the ps3 is still selling. i dont know why crazzyman made this thread compairing ps2 and ps3, this is a whole new generation. we shouldn't be looking ps3 numbers vs ps2 cause just as soon as something doesn't look good its OMG look the ps3 is off by 2 million this year it over!......try compairing the 360 to ps2 sales numbers and see how bad that looks.....we shouldn't be doing that. or we could do that if we want but dont make it look like the other console is a failure.

Yea, i'm not discounting the PS3's accomplishments or calling it a failure. I'm just pointing out where Crazzy is wrong. He's the one who made this thread to compare it to the PS2. When it couldn't live up to such high standards i'm going to call him out on it.

If some 360 fanboy made a thread about the 360 2008 sales vs. PS2 2001 sales i'd call them out on it also.

This is the exact reason why i said he shouldn't have made this thread.

the ps3 is selling great, but as soon as you compair it to the ps2 and it doesn't match up it looks bad when in reality its not.( and people made it out to be)

A word of advice: Nobody ever reads the first post of a thread. If they did, nobody would have posted in this thread after reading the first three sentences.

Dammit! I wish this was my thread, I would so change the first 3 sentences :P

PS3 will fail miserably the comparison because of very poor results in Japan.
However if you look at it by region PS3 should easilly beat 2001 PS2 in Others, heck it's on track to beat PS2 2003 where the PS2 sold 7.7 million units in Others and which was the best year ever in Others for the PS2.

Right now the PS3 is tracking 500k ahead of the PS2 at the same time that year. Baring some unexpected results in the holydays you can already expect that the PS3 will sell at least 7 million units in Others this year, maybe 8 millions+

PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
