So even if the PS3 didn't "launch worldwide at the same time", it still launched VASTLY closer to a worldwide launch than the PS1 did, or the PS2. And since VGC doesn't take that into consideration, we should. Why not compare sales patterns of the PS1/2 at their given time periods (10mo and 8mo after launch) against the PS3's at 4.5mo in to see where real sales lie?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
