mike_intellivision,

If you remove Japan, then PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001, so far - FACT.

Other excuses don`t interest me.

But 2001 <> 2008 in terms of life span.

PS2 had been out for 2.5 months in NA and 1.5 months in Europe when 2001 began.

PS3 had been out for 13.5 months in NA and 10 months in Europe when 2008 began.

Thus, this is not an apples to apples comparison.

Also, given the manufacturing delays, it is very possible that much of 2001 had supply issues for PS2 whereas there has been no such widesprad supply limitation in 2008 for the PS3.

That being said, 2002 might be the better comparison. And since 2002 PS2 sales were greater in Americas and Others (according to VGChartz) than 2001 sales for the PS2, your logic fails.

mike_intellivision, yeah, the are differenece.
so what?

PS3 is selling 4,5 months less in Europe, then in other regions, so what? People still compare PS3 and x360 sales, and speak about difference between them.

PS2 launched in March 2000. Was selling for 10 month.
PS3 launched in November 2006. Was selling for 1,5 month.

10 month of 2000 close to 1 year? YES.
1,5 month of 2006 close to 1 year? NO.
12 month of 2007 close to 1 year? YES.

Overall:
2000 PS2 = 2007 PS3.
2001 PS2 = 2008 PS3.

IF console selling less or more in some regions since it`s lifetime started, THIS doesn`t matter.

Like on Front page Console sales are compared/stated at THIS time. it doesn`t matter, that Wii and PS3 were launched later.

IF you don`t care about sales of Sony products - LEAVE this thread.
IF you are Sony hater - LEAVE this thread.
IF you DON`T believe in PS3 success - LEAVE this thread.

I wonder, some people here are retarded or just don`t have reading skills...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
