Wrong, see my post with PS3 vs PS2 numbers above. The PS3 had different launch dates... still lost but not by that much and only lost is NA.

 I posted PS3 vs PS2 too (above) and as you can see the difference is much smaller while the price difference is much bigger. Price is not everything my friend.

You cannot use PS3's Japanese launch date...

Ok so this is the method krik was referring to, and I'll explain why its a horrible method.  Basically he goes to each region and does it from the launch of the PS3 specifically. As you can see even this method supports the points I made in my last post.  

Japan:

America:

Others:

So for this post I will explain why this method of comparison is faulty.

Now the first problem with this comparison is that all of the data points start on strong weeks for the PS3.  The fact that the launch had large stagger is a bad thing from a business and consumer viewpoint but this comparison rewards it by framing it up like everything is just roses and sunshine.   

Where this is really skewing the matter is the simple fact is that any pent up demand for the PS3 due to a staggered launch has been taken care of  because it has been widely available in all regions for quite some time.  So what you're really doing is cutting out all of the PS2 sales from Europe/Others during that period and the PS3 gets all the sales it would have had anyways since the demand is held over until the launch.

By comparing from the launch you've not only stacked the deck in favor of the PS3 but against the PS2. Pick a date...compare all of the consoles its really simple. 

The least flawed comparison we can make is actually to choose a point after the launches for all regions are done.  But like I said I don't think that fits your vision of what this thread should be:

@krik

Do you have a substantive responce? I realize you take exception to the launch alignments but it really doesn't make a bit of difference to the point I made. My post had very little to do with that data specifically.

Cool, so what you're saying is that price shouldn't have nothing at all to do with how well a console is selling. That's funny considering I've heard some PS3 fanboys saying that the PS3 hasn't sold a lot more because of it's price. I guess you would argue with those fanboy and say they're full of sh*t. Am I right? Oops nevermind I noticed you brought money into it later on when someone brought up the PS3, you're being a hypocrite.

Those are great comparisons there krik. I really didnt know Sony was kicking so much ass with the Ps2.

 I didn't include Wii and 360, WTF? It does not matter if it starts at PS3's hot dates since the idea is to INCLUDE ALL THE PS3 SALES. Got it? 

One more time: I did not compare the PS3 with Wii or 360, just PS3 vs PS2. 

 Price it's not the only factor to be considered. You probably talking about PS3's launch price of $600. Well, that my friend kind of matters. Anyway I didn't talk about price at all in this comparisons, why do you keep talking about price? Who cares about price?
