What is confusing about my post?

Which generation a console "comes from" is an abstraction.  Its meaningless in the household, and especially in "this generation", where the venerable PS2 still manages to compete.  Ignoring it is... like turning a blind eye to the facts that it does exist, and that it still sells (quite well), and thus presents signifigant competition.  

You could consider the original PS2 as being the "high-end" of the 6th console generation, from Sony, and the slimline PS2 the "low-end" of the 7th generation (from Sony)... but its not considered that way... and for no good reason.  Drawing arbitrary lines with the "generation" concept doesn't help us evaluate the market.  Excluding the PS2 from the front page is a serious flaw in this site's presentation, IMO.  Comparing the other 3 numbers, and not including consoles which are still in production only truly satisfies the fanboys.

I just really want to know Sony's marketshare if we track all PS2 sales from the day the 360 launched.

I want software numbers. What is it with VGchartz being updated so late, then changed real quick for the next week. Some sections of software we never see updated =(

So now my countdown begins :)



If you aren't playing B3YOND, you're playing behind

Playstation 3: It Only Does Everything

I believe the number of PS2s (worldwide) has increased by about 23-24 million worldwide since the XBox360s release. I don't think VGChartz data actually goes back that far (with hardware), and I don't know for certain.



Another bad week for Sony in others.
It appears to have lost momentum big time.
