The PS3 is not really doing all that bad if you factor in the price difference and the wii/360 being such great competition this gen. The PS2 also only had the DC to compete with until the 2001 holiday season which brought the GC/xbox to the market. We are also low on are PS2 numbers so who really knows where the differences between our numbers and Sony's are.

Don't forget that 2001 was a very rough year for the PS2 where it was plagued by supply issues for the first half of the year, and it also had a very weak line-up of sparse releases until it headed into the holiday season. By the end of this year the PS2 will have outsold the PS3 by 3.5 to 5 Million units.

This isn't to say that the PS3 has sold poorly with everything that has gone against it ...

1.7 million? Not if you actually align the launches from each region. The PS3 is 5.4 million behind the PS2 in Japan alone.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=101

Its 6.2 million behind North America.

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=America&cons2=PS3&reg2=America&cons3=X360&reg3=------&weeks=100

Even in Europe where the PS3 is doing best, its 1.2 million behind the PS2.

Crazzyman hasn't been keeping this thread up to date.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 05th Jan 2008 to 25th Oct 2008:

Console	PS3
Total	7,363,598

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2001 to 27th Oct 2001:

Console	PS2
Total	9,237,367

PS3 is about 1.9 Million behind now ...

The PS2 sold 6.7 Million systems in November and December of 2007 so I think the question now is how far behind will the PS3 be?

Well anyone sane knew it was only a matter of time before he got bored and gave up. The PS3 was going to be slaughtered eventually and that was not what Crazzyman was hoping for.
