@ non sequor, well the last time i checked the comparison charts did have PS2 others data otherwise it wouldn't have gone all the way up to 110million (which is what this site has for sell-through of PS2 even though the shipment page shows 117million)

but as the 360 is supposedly doing better than the x-box (which was comparable to GC early on) and the PS3 is tracking similar to 360 i thought i'd compare the PS3 sales graph to the GC shipped numbers, a full year after release (September 2002...but that's because GC was released in Japan first Sept 2001) the GC had only shipped 6.7million, and though that only includes one christmas i figured the PS3 after a year would be at similar numbers.

actually maybe you are right, because the PS3 after one year would be mid November, so it will probably be only about 5.5-6million, whereas GC must have been a bit higher (maybe slightly over 6M...not sure about how many GC would have been on shelves)

and @ dallas, as far as i knew the PS2 chipset has moved onto the 45nm process, i could be wrong about the EE specifically, but i'm sure some chips in the PS2 were definately being made at 45nm.

 Or maybe I'm wrong. It does look like the three separate charts add up to the current worldwide total for the Gamecube. Still, the separate charts do make it look like the PS3 is slightly under or on par with the Gamecube in each market while the worldwide shows the PS3 slightly ahead of the Gamecube so I'm not quite sure what's right.

 I think I know what it is. The Gamecube didn't have a worldwide launch like I thought. The delay between the US and Japan launches and the others launch was smaller for the PS3 than it was for the Gamecube so even though it's not beating the Gamecube with launches aligned in the individual markets, all together it is ahead of the Gamecube, due to it having more sales from others included so far.
