Sales - PS3 Passes GCN WW? - View Post

I remember seeing GCN WW sales at 21 million a while ago. So has the PS3 passed it or is it coming up to passing it?

 

Not bad for a console costing more, the only reason PS3 sales look bad is when compared to the current competition, it could be doing better, but it could be a lot worse too.

 

EDIT: ok wiki has it up as 21.74 million so PS3 only has a short way to go. If anyone wants a checklist from the 6th gen here it is (not doing one for all consoles lol):

 

Sega Dreamcast - 10.6 million [check]

Gamecube Nintendo - 21.74 million [almost check]

Microsoft XBOX -  24 million [next goal]

Sony PlayStation 2 - 140 million [no chance without Sony's 10 year plan]

Sony PlayStation 2 - 140 million [no chance EVEN WITH Sony's 10 year plan]

Just had to fix that for you.   Every major console has a "10 year plan" by the way.  Sony is the only one touting it around like some bonus feature.

 

As for it passing GC, keep in mind that 21.74 is shipped numbers, not sold.  The PS3 has likely already passed that figure in shipped units. VGC stopped tracking the GC at 21.51 million.  Sony needs less than 500k to hit that mark which looks to be just 3 weeks away.
