Playstation 1:
December 3rd, 1994 (JP)
September 9th, 1995 (US)
September 29th, 1995 (EU)
Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 20.5mo
Playstation 2:
March 4th, 2000 (JP)
October 26th, 2000 (US)
November 24th, 2000 (EU)
Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 16mo
Playstation 3:
November 11th, 2007 (JP)
November 17th, 2007 (US)
March 26th, 2008 (EU)
Total time to launch between 1st and last major territory: 4.5mo
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

I added the total number of months for all regions. So if the PS1 launched 10.25mo later in the US, and 10.25mo later in EU, then it's a total of 20.5, as 2 territories combined for that much "missing" time. This was the only way to properly quantify the fact that the PS1/2 launched in various timeframes for the US and EU (there was a 1mo difference on the PS2, and 3 weeks on the PS1).
