Head pulsing. Anger rising. Common sense dwindling.

I tried to argue this months ago. I thought I had a solid argument against him. How he can possibly continue this is completely beyond me.

Uh... uh... yes...

Well, this one's gonna be tough. Let's see, the point of this thread is to stablish that the ps3 is as succesful as the ps2. To achieve this, the OP and thread shark (hur hur) keeps tweaking the framework of the statement so the statement remains true.

Last I heard, Japan had been taken out of the framework since the ps3 is tanking there.

"IF you DON`T believe in PS3 success - LEAVE this thread."

I think the following is clear evidence that along with Japan, the Americas are showing that a trend doesn't exist between 2001 and 2008. So we'll have to exclude them as well and focus on Total Others for a good second full year comparison, which shows the PS3 doing very well indeed!! :):)

Perhaps I should link to this to show how a decent comparison should be made between the two consoles (ie seperating the regions for a decent timescale)

from the ending conclusions in that link:

" PS3 sales are only off the PS2 pace by about 15% in Europe."

hmm...thats much better than I thought.

Go PS3!
