Then why are the monthly numbers not seen as being all that good? I'd need to see the numbers myself, but the PS2 had no real competition at the time (the DC was dead the day the PS2 came out...) while the 360 is competing against, well, the PS2, which is still selling quite well... it's far too early to say that the 360 is going to be a great success in Europe and I don't think it'll get anywhere near the PS2's total sales numbers, either in the US or Europe. Xbox numbers sure, but PS2? That'd imply either a huge growth in the industry or Microsoft taking over from Sony on the top, and I don't know how likely that really is...
