Some new light. I'm afraid the link is to Cube-Europe again, but it should be on Bloomberg or something too...

Um... why do I get the feeling Cube-Europe is out to bash Xbox?

Do ANY other major websites (maybe a microsoft one) claim that X-Box has flopped?

Well, apparently, these reports seem to be popping up around here in the U.K, claiming the Xbox to be selling poorly, yet only the software is managing to sell quite well. As some in England would know, one of the pages on teletext, a very respected 'TV' magazine as it were, also seem to report this news. Most the reports also claim the launch here in the U.K (best performance in Europe thus far) for the Xbox was infact quite good, though only a few days after the launch has the Xbox been begining to show signs of slowing sales, and poor performance in selling terms.

I guess it will be a long road ahead of Microsoft, what with all these big titles already available, Iand the launch of the Gc on the horizon. It is just wait and see at the moment.

I think it's rather lame that Cube-Europe must report Xbox related news articles that are biased. Do you see any major Xbox website reporting GameCube news? No.

Press Release:

Quote:
Santa Monica, CA – April 1, 2002 -- Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that WRECKLESS: The Yakuza MissionsTM and Tony Hawk’s Pro SkaterTM 3 were the #1 and #2 best-selling third-party titles by units for the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft in Germany for the week of March 18 – 24, 2002, according to Media Control. These results followed the successful European launch of Xbox on March 14, 2002.

Additionally, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 was the #4 third-party title for the PlayStation® video game console and the #5 third-party title for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, according to Media Control.

“The success of WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 reinforce Activision’s position as a brand leader on Xbox,” said Ron Doornink, President and COO, Activision Inc. “Activision is poised to continue its leadership position on both the Xbox and PlayStation 2 with upcoming launches of Spider-Man® the movie game, Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMXTM 2 and Kelly Slater’s Pro SurferTM.”

Well, that just an article from Activision, it's also biased. It would look kinda stupid if they told that the XB launch wasn't succesful.

Why isn't M$ releasing official numbers????

It's not biased. It's factual information. Showing how well two Xbox games sold. Not opinions on how well the Xbox did in Europe.

I don't get how a 3rd Party developer can be biased....

They say it's succesful. What are their standards?? I bet they'd say the Japanese launch was succesful... or the Virtual Boy's launch (if they would have made launch games for it).

This doesn't say a thing.

Well I trust them more than a GAMECUBE site.

When Xbox sites start posting that it's a flop, I will listen.
