Just like if RE4 had released on both system at the same time, PS2 sales would've been higher than Gamecube sales. That's just the way it is..."there's really no way around it"

Is there some way to prove that...? Do we have the individual sales for RE4 and Viewtiful Joe on the GCN and whatever titles on the PS2?

once again, you cant bring anything meaningful to the topic so you made a half-assed attempt at a sarcastic joke.

I'm disappointed, Jonbo...


and Link, what sales figures do you want, exactly?

the reason why I said "if these titles were released on both systems at the same time, the PS2 version would sell more" is because of current market trends. PS2 has a much higher installed base, and titles that HAVE been on both systems have almost ALWAYS sold more on the PS2. One that did better (or was close, I dont remember) on the Gamecube was Soul Calibur 2, and that was thanks to Nintendo's (smart) move by putting Link in the game.

That works, I guess. I honestly really don't care. My first post was more of a joke (I just thought it was ironic). With my last post, I just saw you had said something and hadn't really backed it up... So I asked...

Anyway....

Uh, Krypton... While it is a cool picture, its super old and I've seen it before, and I used to own the game it comes from... And it is really off topic. If you have something to say or show to one specific member, you should PM them...

meh, I wasnt trying hard anyways. I was just bringing something up that seemed odd about Capcoms comments conflicing with what I was seeing but oh well. I never bring meaningful thought here anyways. Its all just sarcastic bad jokes

considering it was released HOW many months before the PS2 version?

that's like comparing RE4 sales on Gamecube to the upcoming PS2 release...or PS2 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas sales to thsoe of the soon-to-be-released XBox version

you still dont get the point...

Still, my point that trying to compare 40 games sold on PS2 to 5 games on Gamecube and then claim Gamecube sales 'sucked' (not an exact quote but you get the point) is just not the right thing to say. Its utterly blatant why sales were lower then PS2. But you know what, I'm done with this thread. I tried being reasonable at first but everyone else has to tear my thing apart.

I am not being ****ing biased in this damn thread. I was just merely bringing up something I noticed
