Has a 3rd place console ever done these things before?

Tales of Symphonia

Key word: thing(s)

Super Monkey Ball, Soulcalibur 2, Harvest Moon, Viewtiful Joe, etc.  GameCube was loaded with lower profile Japanese developed hits (which in many cases even outsold their PS2 counterparts), Namco and Sega especially did really well on the machine.

Did the Gamecube accomplish HALF of what the PS3 has, no. That was the point.

Pre-slim, PS3 was tracking in line with GC hardware and behind in software.  Guess Nintendo should've considered a "GameCube Slim"?

Who knows? All I now is, the PS3 is the first 3rd place console to consistently shatter expectations...

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not against the Cube, in fact it was my 2nd favoriyte console last gen, and I don't want to minimize it's merits. However, I just don't recall it ever receiving the kind of buzz the PS3 has.

Saturn tracks quite a lot above it in Japan, that did well for 3rd place.
