Outsold by the PS2. This is not a repeat from 2002.

I'm starting to feel bad for Sony and the PS3 camp. I really am. Sales figures from The NPD Group, a prominent business research firm, show the three top spots for April's console sales went, respectively, to Nintendo for the DS, Wii, and DSi.

Then came Microsoft with the Xbox 360. Finally, Sony rounds out the rest, with the PS3 coming in sixth--behind its predecessor, the PS2. Ouch.

Of course, this likely has much to do with the price drop we reported on more than a month ago that took the PS2 to the US$99.99 mark, a significant price point.

Still, it's got to be hard on the PS3 team knowing it got beat for a month by its nine-year-old little brother. And this doesn't mention the PSP, which comes in seventh place behind even the PS3.

The PS3 remains the most impressive gaming console in terms of hardware, but if Sony can't find a way to gain some sales traction and stop the declines, it might not matter.

PS2 selling lots = +$$$+

PS3 selling lots = OMG NO UBER MONEYZ LOSS!

I doubt SONY really care about this. (not that much anyway)

ok lanjiaona, we get the picture you hate PS3. But you dont like to say anything when Ps2 outsells 360 in Japan

As long as people are buying Sony its all that matters to Sony lol

didnt it take the 1st xbox and gamecube 4-5 years to hit 20 million consoles sold? and ps3 did that in 2 years? Sony is doing fine sales wise with no price drop. Plus the NPD is only USA.

You should at least mention that this is from Cnet... though you can hardly find a more positive source for everything Sony-related

Sony will be shocked that they are losing all that money. Its all going to Microsoft and Nintendo o wait its PS2 sales go to Sony, im sure they wont lose sleep over it.

Does anybody know how much profit Sony makes on each shipped PS2?

Why do you feel bad to sony if the Ps2 is still selling? :P
you know they are both from sony... if you dont know.

This is the 3rd thread on this. Can we lock? Bump the other two if you want to rag on the PS3 so badly.
