The Nintendo 64 was released last in the 5th generation and it overcame the head start of the Saturn. It outsold the Saturn on a weekly basis regularly from the get-go though.

The Xbox was released last (two months after the GC) in the 6th generation and beat the GC, but it was neck to neck for about a year or so and the final numbers are rather close, 24m vs 21m.

From 3rd to 1st never happened. 


I havent read the rest of the thread so i don't know if this has been mentioned, but wasn't the PS3 released in Japan before the Wii in USA (and PS3 was 2 days before Wii in USA too) thus the Wii has done it.

I suppose though that the better way to think about it would be aligning launches (ie consoles that sold slowly for the first year or so but ended up the victor).
