I hate it when people think the GameCube did so much worse than the Xbox. It was actually a very close call, according to VGChartz the GCN sold 21.6 million, the XBx 24.7 million.
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.
