Interpret what you will, but the gap between the Xbox and GameCube in America continues to grow wider.

PS2 is still ravaging the other consoles in sales. Will they ever be beat by another console? I really do not think so. And PS2 has nine games out of the top 10. That is very very good. Xbox, surprisingly (to me, anyways) is doing very good and has six games on the list. And they are selling alot of consoles, too. That is very good to hear. And oh, what's this? One GCN game? And it isn't a first party game?!?!? Wow. I find that comical. LOL.

I didn't expect Xbox to do this good... I thought NGC would be doing better than it

I wish I had an Xbox though, cuz there are more games coming out for it that I want than there are for NGC... And there are also more that are already out... I'm just glad I have my trusty PS2

Maybe NGC sales will pick up once Zelda comes out... *realizes that's what Nintendo fans have said about Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Mario, and Metroid*... hmm... meh...

Oh so true.

That's quite sad.

Seeing as the PS2 doesn't need a speck of help, I'm really backing the XBox...and it's nice to see the big box taking Gamecube to school (as it deserves to).

The things that really stand out for me are the piss-poor Gamecube and GBA software sales, as well as SOCOM's strength. I'm really surprised to see it that high...it's an online game, and it's been out since September [face_wow]

Xbox is dominating Gamecube in hardware sales, yes...but even MORESO in software sales...

And one last thing...where's Metroid Prime?

Jason1 · 02-23-2003, 10:29 PM

Obviously the Cube really sucked sales wise in January. There's no real explination for it, and if sales continue to suck, there's no explination for that either. All I know is the Cube's lineup for 2003 is damn good, IMO. The GBA could pass the PS2 in sales, and it probably will after the GBA SP comes out...unless they call that a while nother system, which they really shouldnt...because its basically the same system. Im sick of these sales charts anyways...*shrugs*

This is pretty bad for the 'Cube. Hopefully Zelda gets it back on its feet. With 250,000+ pre-orders for it, hopefully something happens. But I wonder if American kids have been brainwashed

meh, I feel this post will be bashed to hell and back.

TheGame · 02-24-2003, 12:32 PM

I have a gut feeling that Zelda is gonna move both hardware and software... but then again, it's going head up with pokemon and GBA:SP at the end of the month... That could hurt. (well, it won't hurt Nintendo, but it could hurt Celda

)

Eventually I think Xbox will come to a point where it's sales are neck and neck with Ps2. But I just don't know about GCN.

I dont ever see that hapenning... PS2 first of all has had a year head start on both of them in which it totally dominated then once both GC and XBX came out it still didnt even sell as well as the ps2.. and over the year ps2 has outsold both xboxb and GCN combined usually...

and the 250,000+ pre orders.. im assuming some people have pre orders at more than one place.. so...

TheGame · 02-24-2003, 04:13 PM

I'm talking in Week to Week sales... not overall sales. Eventually those Ps2 owners are going to start looking in other places for consoles, and Xbox has a more Ps2 competitive line up than GCN.

Dead Or Alive Volleyball on the charts... how sad a ****ty game like that sells... and the sims being number 1... is even sadder.

Dammit it's games like Suikoden 3, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue 2 that should be selling.

Also... will Halo ever die??

Couldnt agree more...Sega r00xors! If there was a good reason for me buying an Xbox, it would be sega's suppourt without a doubt. Panzer Dragon Orta looks hella fun! And Sega's development teams are only surpassed by Nintendo themselves.
