the guy made everything up in that article.

For instance, he said that at launch, less than 50% of Gamecube's were sold. That would mean that less than 350 000 were sold, but in actuallity, about 486 000 were sold. Unless the number 486000 is a smaller number than 350000, this guy is dead wrong.

I'd say the funniest thing he says is that Playstation software has outsold all software by all other console. Is that a joke???

Also, the hardware sales he metioned are complete crap.


Here's more bulls.hit:

"Further, the PS2 is the fastest selling home console ever. It's past 22
million units sold worldwide, and it has only been outside of Japan for a
year. The Genesis in it's glorious 6 year run only sold 21 million. The
Dreamcast? 7 million before Sega pulled the plug on it."


There are three things wrong with that paragraph.

1.He says PS2 has sold over 22 million unites worldwide even though it's only been outside of Japan for about a year. He fails to mention that most of 22 million sales ARE IN JAPAN!!! Only about 6.5 million of those 22 million are in north america.

2.Genesis only sold 21 million? Another lie. Genesis sold approximately 35 million, while SNES reached about 45.

3.This one isn't as bad, but he claims Dc only reached 7 million. Last time I checked, it was over 10, it oribably sold a couple since then. If I had to estimate, I'd say by the time DC is completely dead and stops being sold, it'll probably reach around 15 million which actually isn't all that bad.
