gotcha. I was just confused there. Now if I can ask just one more very silly question. Why do the charts only cover 289 weeks?
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
Looking through the charts, all are 289 weeks. My theory is the PS2 worldwide total starts in March 2000 - so it really includes less than 289 weeks for the Americas and Others. Wii launched within 2 weeks of it's USA release data worldwide, so it isn't really an issue.
That is why the totals through 289 weeks in the Americas + Others + Japan are more than 289 weeks from launch (it is really 289 weeks post Japan launch, which again is less time the Americas and Others)

Oh awesome, this is good news. This should clear up all sorts of confusion.
PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)
If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%

If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%

At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Awesome! We can do some pretty cool comparisons now...
...
Its truly astounding that the Wii has reached 10m in almost half the time that the PS2 has. Surely its the fastest console/handheld ever to reach 10m? (be interesting to compare it with the iPod!).
...
NOTE - the PS2 vrs PS3 comparison is still misleading (as is the Wii vrs PS2, etc..). Due to the staggered launch of the PS2.
After 33 weeks:
PS3 - 3.7m (Worldwide)
PS2 - 3.3m ("Worldwide")
PS2 - 3.2m (US)
PS2 - 3.3m (Japan)
PS2 - 2.5m (Europe)
PS2 - 9.0m (All three territories, 33weeks after launch in each)
Guess there is no way around it. It will even out over time. But you can compare each territory on its own.

@ shams )
plz note ,that PS3 wasn't released worldwide at the same time either .. as a european I'm very aware of that
hey thesource, I recommend you fix a couple of links
firstly, your first link has a newline in it, meaning it goes to the standard hw comparisons
secondly, your "others" graph is no good since you can't see the Wi line, it's essentially hidden behind the PS2. try this one instead:
http://www.vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=DS®1=Total+Other&cons2=PS2®2=Total+Other&cons3=Wii®3=Total+Other&align=1
That really shows exactly how well the Wii has been following the PS2 in Europe.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
I keep getting timeouts, but I was able to compare worldwide sales of GC with PS3 and XB with PS3 so all three together should be quite interesting:

Great job guys. Looks nice.
The Wii. The one to rule them all.
Wow, that must have been a lot of work compiling all that data. Very commendable.
I'm getting a lot of "Orange Screens of Death" trying to see the graphs, though. I guess the DB is getting smacked pretty hard
