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!

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

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

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
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.

(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'

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.

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
