I am not making this post to discuss the reasons for PS2's success, as they are down to opinion, open to debate, and eventually the cause of war. Instead, this is just a few facts I`ve uncovered. The statistics on two of the main three markets (in this case the US and Japan) are as follows:
Japanese sales last week:
US sales for May:
Now, obviously, these figures are just from retail surveys, so might be slightly unreliable, but it is certainly not the first time I`ve heard figures like this being read out. Even if there is some error above, its not going to be by much. This was supposed to be the time when the PS2's storm was being quietened. It was suggested that though PS2 may win in the end, X-Box and GX would gain a lot of ground on Sony's machine over the next year or so. Its early days, and the release of games like Zelda and Mario on GC could help significantly, but for now, I`d hardly say the other consoles were catching up. Like I said before though, this isn`t a "PS2 is better post" because that's been covered once or twice before, but these figures have to be quite worrying for the competition... | ||||
