索尼全球工作室创始人：费尔哈里森认为，假如想让PS3达到PS2的最终销量，那将会是一个很漫长的路。

在PS2发售十周年接受Eurogamer采访时，费尔哈里森认为目前的市场和PS2时代有些不同，PS3面临的竞争压力要大的多。

“我当然希望PS3能够赶上PS2，不过目前的游戏市场已经和之前不同了。在它漫长的生命周期中，PS2在鼎盛时期在全球都没有任何敌手，所以PS2可以达到如此的高度。假如想让PS3也达到同样的销量，那真的会是个漫长的过程，也是个困难重重的挑战。”

哈里森也坚信SONY能让自己的主机平台上出现更多的第三方独占游戏。

然而，SCE的创始人克里斯狄林却坚信PS3能够最终超越PS2。

“无论是PS1还是PS2，轻便的型号总是比最初的型号要卖的好。PS3 SLIM刚刚发售了1年，假如你能以100英镑的价格买到一台PS3的话。。。你能想象吗？所以PS3的销量会接着大幅度增加。”

在PS2十岁生日时，这台史上最高销量的主机在全球范围内卖出了1亿4600万台，而他的继承者：PS3在四年内卖出了4600万台。

Sony’s former head of Worldwide Studios, Phil Harrison, believes Sony has a tough road ahead if its to expect PS3 to match PS2’s record-breaking sales.

Speaking with Eurogamer in its PS2 retrospective chronicling the system’s 10 years on the European market, Harrison believes the “dynamics” today are “slightly different” as the market is much more competitive.

“I hope PS3 can match PS2, but I think the market dynamics are slightly different,” he said. “For a large chunk of its life-cycle, the PS2 didn’t really have any competition anywhere in the world, so Sony was able to sell a huge number of units. If PS3 does reach the same level it will take longer and it will be a more difficult challenge.”

Harrison also belies Sony’s ability to secure third-party exclusives for the system was more feasible at the height of its popularity, and it was “the last era” in which you will see console exclusives “happen in a meaningful way”.

However, SCE founder Chris Deering has faith in PS3, and is of the belief it will eventually “as many as PS2″ and maybe more.
“In the case of both PS1 and PS2, we sold more Slim units than original models,” he said. “The PS3 Slim has only been out a couple of years. If you could get a PS3 for a hundred pounds… Can you imagine? It could go much higher and last longer.”

As of PS2’s anniversary, the console has moved 146 million units worldwide, while its predecessor has moved over 46 million units in four years on the market.
