There was discussion a few pages back about the Gamecube doing just that, if memory serves. |
No, all it did was beat the xbox for a while, not the Playstation 2, besides then GC was cheaper than Ps2 anyway.

Why is this a comeback?
What PS3 has overcome:
- A book about its Failure written in Japan 2 years ago
- $600 at launch
- Terrible publicity in first year
- Beaten by the GBA for months straight in the summer of 2007 in North America
- 3rd Place public mindshare
- Loss of big exclusives
- Threats from activision to stop supporting it
- Many sites in early - mid 2009 saying SONY should discontinue it & so on
- No games aura of early - mid 2007

To overcome all those things & come out with such sales.....imo is a comeback. It went from the pits of hell to the bombarded fields of the Console war, flying like tinkerbell did in Peter Pan.
Like it or not, PS3 was DOOMED in early 07 & 09.....it had a "Mock Comeback" in 2007/2008, now it has an ACTUAL Comeback, It was outsold by GBA (in 2007 america) & PS2 (in japan this year), it had a wonderful book about its failure written for it (a first for a home console).
See it REALLY did everything & will continue to do everything.
It does everything!
