I agree with DKII. 2009 will be interesting to see if Crazzy continues to cherry pick his arguments.

2002 was a banner year for the Playstation 2, and it's very unlikely, if not impossible, that his cherry picking (if it stays the same) will do anything but prove his idiocy: By 2002, the Playstation 2 was selling incredible, and will surely show how idiotic this argument is.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

@koffieboon, do you atleast REMEMBER what you asked me???

@Crazzy: PS3 is already about 2M behind, what gives you the idea it won't fall back further compared to PS2 in 2001?
And i ANSWERED YOU.

So far,
PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001 - TRUE.

And then i wrote about Japan.

What ELSE i had to answer to you??? You asked me a question AND i gave an answer. This was SO simple, BUT then hundreds of trolls got into this thread.

If Crazzyman keeps this up, there will be no cherries left for the children. The flat earth society will fight this.

Ok FishyJoe, what`s wrong with MY answer to HIS question???

Can you explain what cherry picking means Crazzyman? If so, explain it to me.



TWRoO on 07 November 2008

Crazzy, in NO WAY are both of those years the 2nd year for each console.

If you talk year to year, the PS3 was launched in 2006, so 2008 is it's 3rd year. compared to PS2s 2nd year.

If you talk your odd "released worldwide" thing as you were at the beginning then both are the first full calendar years for each console... but that's the problem, PS2 was barely released at the beginning of it's first full calendar year, wheras PS3 has had more than a year in 2 regions and almost a year in Europe.

In otherwords your analysis hangs on the fact that the year lies as it does, and you are lucky that the PS2 completed it's roll out to the world just before Christmas, wheras the PS3 was delayed in Europe for 3 months into the year.

---

And no it is not useful to anyone who wishes to make a worthwhile comparison, PS3 fan or not.... Should someone deluded enough wish to use this to predict the future PS3 sales they will fail miserably.



TWRoO on 07 November 2008

Also think about it Crazzy.... Is it you who is correct, or is it the rest of the regular users of this site, including the level headed Sony fans, who are attempting to tell you this isn't right.

ok, I saw this thread, and was compeled to create the following graph. I really don't know what came over me

EDIT: click for larger image




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

TWRoO,

Crazzy, in NO WAY are both of those years the 2nd year for each console.
i ALREADY answered to that in my first post:

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

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

Overall:
2000 PS2 = 2007 PS3 - 1st YEAR.
2001 PS2 = 2008 PS3 - 2nd YEAR.


Anyway, i gave ANSWER to koffieboon QUESTION.
@Crazzy: PS3 is already about 2M behind, what gives you the idea it won't fall back further compared to PS2 in 2001?

And i ANSWERED YOU.

So far,
PS3 (NA+EU) sales in 2008 = PS2 (NA+EU) sales in 2001 - TRUE.

And then i wrote about Japan.
