@Vertigo-X,

The fact that for the PS2 only ONE region had it available for 10 months... The others were only present for 2.5 months. It is by far the most flawed example of a "first year". Japan is the only viable comparison, but since the PS2 is beating the PS3 equivalently, you've ommitted it! Come on, Crazzy! :(

EDIT: Edited for technicality. :)

As everyone is pointing out. Since you want to omit Japan sales the comparison needs to be altered.

PS2 non-Japan launched in October 2000. Was selling for 2.5 months.
PS3 non-Japan launched in November 2006. Was selling for 1.5 months.

2.5 months of 2000 close to 1 year? NO.
12 months of 2001 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:
2001 PS2 = 2007 PS3 - 1st YEAR.
2002 PS2 = 2008 PS3 - 2nd YEAR.

I look forward to updated numbers soon!! :=))

WIN!

This thread was even better at pages 3-5. Remember Nutboy? http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=535709

And this guy was pretty funny too. http://vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=537438

It's just too bad we cannot see Rock_On_2008's comments.

This thread has now been going on for 10 months!

Can we please close this failthread?

What happened to you? You used to like this thread. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=713012 http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1194245

@Crazzy: Sony discontinued the older SKUs and introduced the 40GB PS3 with a lower price point. The only reason for this was to get the price of the PS3 down. If you don't want to call that a price drop then it's pretty we'll simply won't agree on this matter.

About your NA+EU expectations, it really makes no sense to just add up the first 10 months and because they're almost even conclude the holiday sales will be the same as well. You need to look at the trend, and for the Americas PS2 has been increasing the gap steadily across the year, so it seems highly likely it will continue to do so in the holiday season.
For Others PS3 went ahead at the first half of the year, steadily outselling the PS2. But around July the gap stabilized and since October PS2 is starting to outsell the PS3 because its sales jumped upwards from around 70k a week to over 100k a week. And from this week forward its sales will increase week after week, so unless PS3 is seeing even bigger increases the gap will continue to decrease. Which means that even if it somehow does manage to stay close to PS2 in Others it still means for the Americas and Others combined it will be outsold by the PS2.

A few weeks ago he changed his posting tone, went from joke account behaviour to real poster.

I like the new DMJ better, to be honest.

Personally, I'd rather the thread stayed open. It's obvious at this point the whole of it is either nothing but a monument to the deranged mind of crazzy or a testament of his will playing a character. Anyways, it's funny to watch the repeated attempts of some people at reasoning with him.

Linkzmax,

@koffieboon, NEW SKU =/= pricedrop. This is just a FACT. Pricedrop - when one product get price down, and 40Gb model is a different product. It`s just like saying, 20Gb model was pricedroped at launch, since it costed 500$, while 60Gb model 600$. Just plain stupid.

About Others, new games like LBP, Resistance, Motorstorm and other are only on the way of release + add bundles. then popularity of blu-ray = WIN. The sales WILL increase.
