Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
 

Thanks to the new EGM issue (as of 3/31/03):

Playstation 2: 51.2 million consoles sold worldwide
Xbox: 13 million consoles sold worldwide
GameCube: 9.4 million consoles sold worldwide

I told you Xbox was number two worldwide, but no....

That's because console sales numbers are rarely, if ever, accurate, and even less accurate when it comes to worldwide numbers.

Or just maybe it's because nintendo is in third :o

Why are people still buying PS2's? (This is not a fanboy question, its just a simple question). I swear every Japanese Kid and Parent has to own one by now. If not at least 2.

Those look pretty wrong to me. Since GC had 9.4 at the end of their second fiscal year for cube (ends march 2003). And at that point, I think cube was second world wide. So, unless their sales froze for3 months, and MS had a huge jump in the slowest season of the year, something is fishy about those numbers.

PS2s are still selling because people are ignorant and have no defense against the Sony Hype Machine. It has nothing to do with the games, it's all about the subliminal messages Sony is sending everyone. I can hear it now..."If you want to be cool, you must buy a PS2"...but you're a stronger man than I am, Jonbo...you won't buy into it. Fight the power. :drum:

+1 rep.

I wonder what the library for each system consists of. That is, number of games... number of "good" games, and number of games sold. PS2 has the PSX (PS1) games. I find that reason enough to merit purchase. *polishes his PS2*.

:sneaky: :fanboy:

Sombody want to post the damage control pic?

And in January, Microsoft was expecting to have 9 million sold worldwide by the end of June, and they got it in a couple months.

But I go back to what I said earlier.

I think this is the first time Stu hasn't said anything "loud" to me.:eek: (I cant think of a better word for standing so strongly for Sony)
*Decides to give +1 rep just for that.*
*wonders if Stu talked like that just for it:hmm:*

Did you just give rep for sarcasm that you didn't see through?

Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
 

I could tell he was being sarcastic. And I thought it was pretty good. Gotta give some rep just because I feel like it.

Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
 

What about Joeiss? Does he get any rep?

Re: Updated Console Worldwide Sales Numbers
 

*Looks hard to find where Joeiss replied* Looks like I don't see one. Plus, it must be funny in some way.:rolleyes:

I believe bobcat was referring to my past sarcastic replies in other threads!


Dumbass. <----- sarcasm
