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?

 

Your time differences are off for PS1 and PS2 launch
