GameCube beating Xbox in USA

Archrivals

Total U.S. sales* of video-game consoles, in millions of units:

Sony PlayStation 2 11.2

Microsoft Xbox 2.2

Nintendo GameCube 2.7

*From introduction through September 2002

this should be in the PS2 forum, because PS2 is kicking the crap out of the other two systems...

But PS2 kicking the crap out of competition isnt news. :p

That's coo, stats from 2 months ago though... I remember GCN sales slowing after SMS... and Xbox sales speeding up after SMS. Maybe I'm wrong though.

you're right...it's more of a Sony-rep ego booster

yeh i'm getting sick of those :unsure: There's no point in stating the obvious.

Correct forum aside, I could have sworn the report IGN posted is the exact opposite of this.

I remember that IGN's report went up to September just like this one. But that one had the Xbox ahead by 500,000 units. Now this one comes along and says that the GameCube is ahead by 500,000 units.

Something's screwy going on here.

Either that or I'm crazy.

Meh, I don't know what to trust when it comes to US console sales.

One source says this console is 500,000 ahead of that console, while another says the complete opposite.

Sub Topic

Do you think by this time next year, Nintendo will have surpassed Sony in console sales?

No chance, neither will Xbox. PS2 already has lead of about 9 million and is selling faster. Plus it has GTA: VC...:D

LOL

The only remote chance of that happening is if Nintendo secure the Final Fantasy series, Dragon Quest Series, the next MGS installment and a whole bunch of Rockstar games exclusively.

But since it isn't going to happen, I say no chance. Even the combines sales of the GC + Xbox will be atleast a fourth of the total sales of the PS2 worldwide, maybe even less.

Not a chance in hell, sorry GameMaster. :roll:

no.

perhaps if nintendo offered a special deal where everyone who returns a PS2 gets $500

and all the returns would count against sonys sales. and thier numbers would rapidly plummit.

then in a counter mesure, sony lowers the price of the PS2 to $10

but that only incurages people to buy tons and return them all making huge huge profits.

and the guy who came up with the idea gets fired from sony

then sony stares fireing other employee's

thier stock goes to hell

people start selling the stock

sony goes out of business

nintendo buys sony.

nintendo then gets all sonys sales added onto thier own total..

then nintendo rules all the sales numbers

:hmm: :unsure:

um, yea. possibly.....
