The GameCube did best in Japan, the XBox in the west.

The 360 has sold twice as much as the PS3. So when you consider the fight for the second place, the PS3 is doing worse than the GameCube. Oh and Nintendo always made money on their little cube.

Gamecube also, IMHO, got the best games of that generation. It's really a shame, I want to love my little wii but there's nothing to do on it! Maybe I chould check out some of the new VC games...

I think 360 is just slaying the PS3 for three reasons
Came out earlier, larger installed base, picked up momentum faster
Cheaper
They have most of the same games, and Halo is bigger and more known then any of the PS3 exclusives. Not neccesarily better mind you.

The PS3 is a pretty hollow console. I never get the same satisfaction from playing my PS3 as I get from my 360.

I think the achievements, even if you wouldn't admit it, make a big difference. And the fact that Xbox Live is 15.6 times better than PSN.

I also think that the controller makes a console more enjoyable. I really hate the PlayStation controller, with it's wide-ranged analog sticks. The 360 analog sticks are more firm, which seems to give me more control.

And the marketplace is much much better.

Although having said all that, being Blu-Ray compatible and more reliable, and since it has quite a few good games, I still love my PS3, and I'm glad I bought it..
