It's remarkable how if anyone attempts to put a positive spin on Sony the wii fanboys feel the overwhelming urge to reply and attempt to refute the fact. I have found at this site that for the most part Sony and Microsoft supporters ignore each other but wii fanboys can't help themselves.

I can't help but think that it's a subconscious fear of a Sony recovery. I'm not saying anyone here is right or wrong it just annoys me to no end that a lot of people seem to take it personally when someone doesn't love their console of choice and their easiest course of action is to try and ridicule them.

Branko2166,

no you got it wrong. We all hate Sony, wheather we are Wii or X360 supporters.

(Sorry CrazzyMan, I don't wanna ruin your thread)

Dont worry Im here to splatter wii fanboys' out of this thread.

Before I continue, WHY IN THE WORLD ARENT THE MODS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

Are you guys to much of wii biased that you cant ban people for trolling over 7 BILLION TIMES in this thread?

Where in this thread does it say:

Compare wii to ps2 sales, wii is dominating show your opinion etc..

THIS IS A SONY THREAD WE DONT GIVE A $HIT ABOUT THE WII SO GET THA F#CK OUT.

Sorry, but the boards don't work that way. You can't put a qualifier on a thread to avoid comparisons or criticism. People are free to post what they want as long as it doesn't break the forum rules.

@fishyjoe

DO you even know the forum rules?

Isnt it to stay on topic?

For crying out loud, the Wii is barely even mentioned in this thread. If we enforced that rule to the degree you're asking for, half the people on this site would be banned, including you many times over.

Whining about rule violators is not on topic. The proper course would have been reporting it. So by complaining about it here, you yourself are in violation.

Guys, let CrazzyMan and the others post in this thread with out getting harassed. He created it for the specific purpose of "waiting and seeing", yet you guys are blatantly attacking him (even if he's stated some falsehoods).

I'm normally a Wii60 fanboy, but you guys have crossed the line in this thread, I think. Please just leave it alone.

I"m sorry. I've already read the op 10 times and all I can find is this:

So, the thread is perfectly fine within its point. It is just a comparison of sales. Besides, there are no conclusions yet, to the contrary of what has been said.

If you want say you don't like why he decided to compare this two years, just say it. It won't invalidate the point of the thread not even a bit, but it may make you look like a retarded fanboy based on how you say it.

I noticed this forum does not have a ignore user function, because I'm navigating it for like 20min today and already missed it a lot.

CrazzyMan said: @truthiness, You admit that the PS2 is supply constrained while the PS3 is not even remotely, but with a little hand waving claim that the situations are the same. How?! Correlation is not a sign of causation, and does come close to provide proof. 1) 2008 is 2nd ps3 year since launch. 2001 was 2nd ps2 year since launch. NOT since SALES. FACT. 2) In 2001 were released BIG games like MGS2, GTA3, FFX, DMC, GT3. Games like MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII, DMC4, GT5 also aimed to 2008. With these 2 MAIN statements i decided to compare PS2 and PS3 sales, and to see how close/far PS3 sales will be in 2008 compared to ps2 sales in 2001. So please, enlighten us all as to what will cause the PS3 to explode in sales continually throughout the year to reach these numbers? Will they finally be resolving those dreaded supply constraints? Or is it the momentum they are riding after crushing the gamecube Wii and Xbox Xbox 360 during the holidays? In my opinion: 1) pricecuts, (ps2 had 299$ for whole year). 2) BRAND games releases. 3) new bundles. 4) variety of genres. 5) new level of HD gaming. However, if and when you are proven wrong, I'm sure you will accept that your reasoning was flawed and that your methods were incorrect, and that you will eat a slice of humble pie right? OR will be BIG PWNAGE for all unbelievers, right? =)) You constantly compare PS2 and PS3 sales numbers without taking into account the differences in the PS2 and PS3's launch. @Darc Requiem, just admit, that you are Sony hater, That you don`t believe in PS3 success and LEAVE this thread. Thank you. I already explained 100 times, why i taked these 2 years. Deal with that. Last time for you: 1) 2008 is 2nd ps3 year since launch. 2001 was 2nd ps2 year since launch. FACT. NOT since SALES WW. 2) In 2001 were released BIG games like MGS2, GTA3, FFX, DMC, GT3. Games like MGS4, GTA4, FFXIII, DMC4, GT5 also aimed to 2008. With these 2 MAIN statements i decided to compare PS2 and PS3 sales, and to see how close/far PS3 sales will be in 2008 compared to ps2 sales with it`s 16 mln. in 2001. NOW you can LEAVE.

 A new level of hd gaming? What like they are launching QuadHD games? Or will the graphics suddenly become so overwhelmingly better than they are now that people will throw their wallets at the counter and go gaga for cocopuffs?

 Also, so you expect sales to skyrocket to 1 million/month when? Honestly, if you are so confident in your prediction, lets see just how good it is.

my cousin sold his PS2 in dec of 2001 for like 600 bucks online... PS2 was much more supply choked at launch than Wii was... The difference is because Wii has been gaining mo, while the PS2 cooled off until GTA3
