Da PS2 outsold the GBA!!:eek:

X-Box starting to beat GCN...

Are you sure you didn't make this in photo shop??

For the past two weeks Xbox has been outselling GCN in Japan, this is most likely due to the recent price drop. But I think GCN will sell a lot once Mario Sunshine comes out over there.

Hmm... you'd think by now that every single household in Japan all ready has a PS2.

Actually, it's more like four weeks in a row that the Xbox has outsold the GameCube in Japan.

Meh, this doesn't affect me too much. Nintendo has hit a little down point, but when Mario Sunshine hits, sales are sure to go up. But since the XBox is still fairly new, sales "should" stay a little high for awhile, and hopefully fall into a black abyss. *evil laughter*

Woah.

PSOne is outselling GCN and Xbox.... Haha... I find that quite commical.

But the thing is not too many X-Box games appeal to the Japanese right now at the moment. So when Microsoft start pumpimg out the 40 Japanese orintated titles they promosed; Mario Sunshine might not be enough in the long run.

Not only that, it's beating GCN by almost twice as much

I wonder if developers are going to just let PSOne survive forever

I wish other old school consoles would have survived early this long.
