Interesting picture. But good news for Ninty, looks like the price cut is paying off, and with the zelda disc included its a great thing Ninty is doing. But I wonder how the longterm outlook is.....

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Pff I'm sure Nintendo is doing terrible here in Holland/Europe. We see PS2 and XB ads every 15 minutes on MTV, and only a stupid commercial for Medal of Honor for the GC. And it's not even exclusive! :rolleyes:

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Oh yhea? And what are those games for the PS2 and XB?

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Ratchet and Clank 2, Need for Sped Underground, XB Live and some more that I can't remember.

R&C2 ad rulez BTW! :D

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Sony Computer Entertainment has the best advertising...the Ratchet and Clank commercials are hilarious, as is the online SOCOM 2 commercial.

Actually, as I recall, X-Box was doing quite poor in Europe (relative to Nintendo and particularly Sony). But if anybody has the actual figures please post them. I definately could be wrong.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

(I'm not picking on you but) why do people call the system 'X-Box'? The name is 'Xbox' not 'X-Box'. That is as weird as saying 'Game-Cube' or 'Play-Station'

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Bad habit I've gotten into, I suppose. I do it almost without thinking. A lot of early reports about the "Xbox" reported it as the "X-Box". So, when I used to talk about it on the forums (specifically in the days of NDose), that was how it was frequently reffered to. So I just kinda got into it, and never got out of it.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Glad to see Nintendo is 'back in the game' and number 1! :) I think Mario Kart definately had some influence and I bet the Warppipe Project also sold a percentage of November Gamecubes.

On a sidenote, X-Box or Xbox (whatever you choose) is a very stupid name. For lack of creativity, I'm afraid I can't grant this console's name any mercy.

Microsoft's Console Name Rating:

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Yes, what does the "X" stand for anyway? I think its a rather silly name.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

You're mistaken. Xbox has had very strong sales in Europe. The Gamecube has had a hard time selling. I won't post a link because I'm too lazy, so you'll have to take my word on it.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Xbox sounds better than Gamecube, Gameboy, and Playstation imo :unsure:
