This is USA only. Worldwide the PS3 must be at least level if not above the gamecube.

@tombi123

worldwide Ps3 = 360

so basically higher than GC

mainly due to EU tho

why is this new?....we know the GC sold fast early on in USA, and we know the PS3 is doing terribly in the USA.

WW the PS3 is slightly above where the GC was i think (the site is really slow so i cant check the charts)...as far as i can remember it is much higher than what GC was in PAL...and i'm not sure about Japan.

ah, chart loaded, worldwide PS3 is about 900k above the GC in the same timeframe...not sure about the breakdown.

1. I hate these threads. Stop it, please.
2. GC sold ok for one or two years, didn't it?



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii)

... and of course Zelda (Wii)

So where are the recent charts. The PS3 has sold over 5 million now. Wheres the comparison for that? The PS3 is doing just fine.

One thing that is interesting from that picture is that Wii is the only one to outdo its predecessor.

It's also interesting that the Dreamcast is missing on this graph.

 It's also interesting that nobody else gives a shit that the Dreamcast is missing, because nobody gives a shit about the dreamcast. It's not even releveant in this scenario, at best; at worst, like I said, nobody cares. 

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Well done Soriku the Sony fanatics walked eagerly into your trap. All you needed was someone to spring it on them. I will help you with that.

The Dreamcast sold 10.6 million units and had a production run of two and a half years. Though you can easily ignore the last year due to Sony dominance of the market. So the Dreamcast was probably outperforming the PS3 at this point in its lifespan. Hell the console actually had a successful launch.

Thats right the Dreamcast would probably show up on that chart above the PS3. Given that the PS3 has yet to reach six million globally, and the Dreamcast had a year delay between domestic launch in Japan, and the global launches. Actually the two consoles have so much in common thats it almost like identity theft.

Brilliant Soriku sheer brilliance. You have them bring up the question, and once that happens someone has to point out the similarity. That the PS3 is actually performing poorer then the Dreamcast actually did, and we all know how that story ended. Then someone has to ask is it happening again. Do we have a dead console walking. Following in the footsteps of the Dreamcast.

Brilliant on your part pure brilliance.
