According to these numbers, the GCN beat the PS3 too...lol.

Just give the Wii U until the end of next year. You'll see some big numbers.

GC wasn't being sold at $599 though.

GC wasnt the cheapest Blu Ray player on the market

I don't think Blu-Ray was really that big of a sales point early on.

Blu-Ray still to this day isn't as popular as the DVD format, a lot of people simply haven't seen the need to upgrade.

Back in 2006, the selection of Blu-Ray titles was extremely limited and most people were not going to pay $600 for that even with a Playstation attached to it.

The PS3's horrid sales through its first year pretty much tell the story. The PS4 at $399.99 will easily beat the PS3's first year.

thats not much of an accomplishment

Agreed that beating PS3/Wii U/Dreamcast level first year sales is nothing impressive. PS4 should crush those numbers pretty easily if supply is readily available.

XB1 might have a slower start due to the $100 difference.
