I agree. There was never a console that was so behind (both in sales and mindshare) that got to become 1st place after all that.
PS3 is a monster.
3DS does not count - it was not behind its competitors. Wii / Gamecube doesn't count either, they are different consoles, to count as a comeback it must have been the same failing console to turn its fortunes around, not a sucessor.
