The Wii has done a good job of taking the number 1 spot, and I think the SNES achieved a similar feat back when it outsold the Genesis. Xbox came back from behind the GC, but there was never that big a difference to begin with. I would say it is really hard to call one or the other the definitive second or third place when they are within nearly 10% of each other their entire lifespans while being behind the PS2 by such a huge amount.
The one thing all the consoles have in common though is that they were behind due to release date. The opponent had the lead only due to reaching the market first. I cannot think of a single example of a console overcoming any large deficit after a year on the market. Once the slow sales start, they rarely stop.
