4 of them are recent releases, but congratulation to Sony for sold 2 million of PS3, a number lower than GC did.

It's only been a year and a half. How much did the GC sell in its lifetime in Japan?

just over 4 million, but second place systems in Japan have a history of dying out quicker than other places in the world. We saw it happen to the GC, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast etc. Japan tends to heavily support 1 system with the second place system pretty far back, and this gen has been no exception so far.

and yea...the PS3 is tracking slightly behind GC.

 Actually the N64 had many games in the top 200 even in 01 , months afther the GCs release , so it didnt die out as fast as some bealive :)
