Stop grasping at straws. I based my Japan PS2 vs worldwide PS3 on the chart which showed them to be about the same, but lacked actual solid numbers. I went and found the numbers to back up my claim. The difference was 200k. Your 2.5 million number was pulled from nowhere. Yet you call me a liar? I never said that the PS2 outsold the PS3 in Japan, only that they were about the same. I would say within 10% is about the same.
2,54 on september - http://vgchartz.com/worldcons.php?date=36770&sort=0
And i would say that within 10% is not same. Because 10% from 110 Mln. = 11Mln. = more then x360 today sold. So 10% is a DIFFERENCE.
By "No one cares" you mean "you don't care" right? because, people DO care. saying you don't care doesn't make what I say untrue. You are correct, only worldwide sales matter. And what console has the least sales right now? Oh, that would be the PS3. Funny how you say "only worldwide and each region matters", you managed to contradict yourself in a sentence that has less than 10 words.
AND WHY YOU CARE?
Once again "I don't care" doesn't make me wrong. The truth is weekly sales are incredibly important, because that shows the momentum your console has. Consoles that consistently sell low during the year will continue to sell low during the holidays and will sell low for the rest of their lifetime. Weekly salesduring launch weeks are high, but after that they fall into a pattern. And the PS3 fell more than the rest.
FAKE, PS2 in Japan had 2 weeks with sales lower then 8k.

where are the FACTS? ;) we'll see where the hardcore games go in the future. However, I don't think that games such as silent hill will save the PS3. Note this is an opinion, not a fact.
ofcourse you don`t think, because you are sony-hater. =))
never claimed it was a fact. Of course, just because the Sun rises every day is no proof that the Sun will rise tomorrow. I will be putting my money on the Sun rising tomorrow, if you want to bet. You are crazy if you think that the PS3 will drop below the cost of the 360 or the Wii.
and now you will give FACTS, why it`s not possible, aha?
