    Default PS3 at 24 million units sold, PSP 57 million

    For those of you who are curious about the latest PS3 and PSP sales figures since they both launched, here's the article:

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6214693...dlines;title;1

    The fact that the PS3 has already matched the Game Cube's total sales in only a little over two and a half years is pretty impressive considering its hefty price.

    Yes, the GameCube was pretty pitiful. IMO, definately the worst Nintendo home console. It just lacked the large third party game base, major mature titles and other features which were availiable on other consoles such as DVD playback.

    Which is the same reason the Wii is in third place.

    Gamecube was awesome. If TG16, Neo-Geo, Sega Saturn, and PS3 have taught us anything, it's that sales =/= system quality,

    The GameCube didnt have a widely acclaimed control scheme. If the Wii didnt have the motion sensing, it would be pretty bad off.

    Fixed.

    Okay, I wouldn't say the SFC was pitiful, but with the exception of Super Metroid and Demon's Crest, the MegaDrive owned it in every way. Include the Mega CD and 32X, and it's not even close.

    Super Famicom does not deserve all the heaping praise it gets. The GameCube is vastly underrated. I just pretend the Wii doesn't exist (Even though I stood in line on launch day, and dropped $600 for the console and most of the launch titles).

    The only reasons why the Wii has been so successful is cuz it's far cheaper than the PS3 and 360, and because of the novelty of the motion sensing, which I think has pretty much run its course.

    I find the Wii to be becoming a joke. It lacks a regular flow of killer titles.

    24 million is really nothing to sneeze at.

    I've been saying it was a joke since it was announced, but then once it was announced I was actually interested, until the system was pretty much like the Saturn at launch. NO GAMES.

    Unlike the Saturn however, the Wii still has nothing to even define it as a good system now in which later on the Saturn actually started getting some really good games(most of them in Japan as the system was hardly big here in the states.) The Wii is one of the bigger console failures when it comes to games, yet it's in first place this generation. The Gamecube has more must own titles than the Wii and that's pretty sad(I would say the Sega CD or the 32X but the Wii doesn't have far to go before catching up with those.)

    Goes to show you that even when Nintendo is raking in the cash, they might push one good first party game out a year with the rest seeming like borderline shovelware cash-in titles. I liked them better when they were a shitty company. Atleast they attempted to release more games to make their system look more worthwhile.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    I have a Wii and a PS3. My Wii sat idle for almost a year until I got a strange desire to play the new play control Pikmin (i.e. basically a gamecube game).

    You aimed that at my comment yet said a portion of what I said in different words. I was implying that the system is nothing but shovelware, including first party games aside a couple, yet it's still in first place.

    Like someone said. Sales do not equal the better system. For how short lived the Dreamcast was, it was a better system in its life than the PS2 was in its early life. I like the PS2 better, but I do think the Dreamcast would have been the better system if it had more support from the consumer.

    Funny how they expect that Brawl will sell the system into the next generation.

    Jesus Christ, for a thread about the PS3 and PSP sales figures, this thread has nothing to do with the PS3 and PSP sales figures!

    At first that seems good, but I doubt that Nintendo lost as much money per cube as Sony did/is per PS3. (I might be wrong on this, I have no idea, so if I am wrong, don't piss all over me!) In order for it to work out for Sony, it can't use the cube as it's benchmark.

    The PSP sales figures are pretty impressive. No handheld has ever managed to get that far against Nintendo.

    Just imagine where it would be if it had no controller at all. Or if it ran on gas instead of electricity. Or if all its software was embedded in pieces of meat.
