Oh, and on a side note... Xbox has launched in the slowest season of the year... so if it does have lower launch sales than Ps2 or GCN it doesn't really matter.

Quarter 1: 10% of video game sales for the year
Quarter 2: 20% of video game sales for the year
Quarter 3: 30% of video game sales for the year
Quarter 4: 40% of video game sales for the year

This is a rough estimate... but, like I have said in older topics:

January 1st 2003... the judgement day.

Okay... we're hearing differents sounds... some say that it was succesful, others that it wasn't. I think it's safe to say that it was an average launch. Not the biggest, but definately not a flop. Happy?

Is Angrist trying to bargain now?

The majority of your information comes from Cube-Europe, Angrist. A biased source overall on Xbox news. Disregard it.

Cube-Europe are not the ones who said XBOX is a flop, all they did was reprint an article stating that the industry in general feels that way. It can be found here. Also, here's another article where thay assert that the president and COO of Microsoft might have been pushed out because of the XBOX's performance.

Thanks man, finally someone backing me up. :)

Yesterday I went to a store to reserve my GCN (actually I already reserved it somewhere else, but where I'm gonna buy it now you get a free controller with it). I asked the man if they had sold many X-Boxes, but they hadn't. Doesn't say much about Europe though... :unsure:

Angrist, are you STILL trying to claim that a gaming store near where you live should be considered the yard stick by which all sales are measured?

Thats like saying that if a Burger King near me doesn't sell many Whoppers, that no whoppers are being sold ANYWHERE. Pretty rediculous, huh?

How bout we go back to the idea that ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE and wait for OFFICIAL NUMBERS...

Good lord. Some people...

:mad2: Read, newbie.

Your comment was completely pointless. You made the topic 'X-box sales in Europe' we're talking about Europe as a whole, not your local shop.

The comment contributes nothing to the debate.

But at least he said :

". I asked the man if they had sold many X-Boxes, but they hadn't. Doesn't say much about Europe though... :unsure:"

Joeiss, I don't care what little tag line he added to the bottom of his post to try and cover his ass, if you couldn't get the jist of what he was implying you are either blind or retarded. He is once again making broad, rash statements based on his local "EB" or whatever. He has done this several times and it is quite annoying. If he wishes to post here he should at least think of something reasonably intelligent to add to the discussion.

Oh, and Angrist, please don't call me a "newbie" (OH NO!) again. It hurt my feelings so much I had to go in the corner and cry.:rolleyes:

:mad:

You see that last part?

:unsure:

:unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

???

You could have left that out...and maybe, just MAYBE, your post might have meant something.

That "unsure" smile could mean "I'm not sure if that says much about Europe" or "Maybe what I just said was pointless"....but it could also mean that you SEEM disappointed with how the XBox is selling...which is a load of BS, you and I and everyone else all know that.

But enough...I'm done with disecting one stupid unnecessary smilie.

Gee, I never thought I would actually make someone mad on this forum... :rolleyes:

All I wanna say is that many people (not all) think that the X-Box launch was a bit dissapointing. (And to be honest, I don't feel sorry for M$.)

you really need to listen to people, angrist

I made that post on the second or third page of this topic...and a couple people agreed with me....yet you still had to tell your little story about how the Xbox isn't selling that well in your store...

I mean, give everyone a damn break...I HOPE you know that it's completely pointless...

That it is Perfect Stu.

But Angrist just must feel the need to go on and on and on and on with his pointless posts.

It seems as though a pointless reply is posted. Then everyone explains why it has no bearing to Europe as a whole and that it has no effect on the discussion. Then the topic is left idle for a few days and Angrist comes back with another pointless reply.
