But as others have noted.

 

PS3 isnt PS2.

 

Its better,but much smaller exclusive game selection.

O.o PS2 had a shit load of multiplats, while Xbox had so many envious exclusives >.< (I wanted to play Jade Empire, Fable I, KOTOR, etc)

Yes, PS3 isn't PS2, but it has a much bigger exclusive game selection than it's predecessor. If you're talking about the Wii/360 line up, that's subjective, but all 3 have some big titles this year and next year Q1!

Is this a joke? The PS2 dominated the exclusive market last generation, without question.

The PS2 Slim notably was also not 300 dollars!

I'm not surprised if PS3 sold more than 100k than drop sharply to 25k.

By the the mid to end of it, GTA became multiplat, and if we're talking about 2009, FFXIII is exclusive to PS3 in Japan.

ahh finally some excitement on the site

hmm...I say 35k-40k first week, 5k less the next week and ending up at and stabilizing at about 20k per week after a month or so.
Wouldn't it be brilliant if I'm wrong though? personally I'm hoping for better numbers.

it would be mighty impressive if PS3 could establish a new baseline of 20K after Slim is released.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Ps3 = PS2

Wii < GC

its apples and oranges

Fixed

PS2 increased 560%? So did people confuse it with the PS3, if they did they will propably be pleasantly suprised when the console won't take b-ray discs.
