Nintendo Ahead of XBOX for 2003

[preacher]

Looks like for 2003, the Gamecube took the number 2 position from the XBOX.

U.S. 2003 Sales (Jan. 2003 - Nov. 2003)

1. PS2 - 4.41 Million
2. GCN - 2.12 Million
3. X-Box - 2.03 Million

Overall though the xbox has still sold more units than the gamecube, but this alone might be reason enough to think xbox will be the loser in the end.

I still have more games for my GC. It may not have as many, but it sure has more fun ones.

Who cares about the Nintendo GC or MS X-Box? They both sell like shit compared to the PS2, considering the PS2 is older hardware than the other two as well.

The PS2 sold more units than the xbox and gamecube combined. It certainly is the winner in this generation of consoles by any measure. Plus its japanese sales are huge too. I just thought I'd show that Xbox was the clear loser this year and with gamecube being huge in Japan, and xbox being "NOTHING" in japan, its obvious that xbox is in last place in the console wars.

Can we even consider Nintendo to PS2?

Nintendo is geared towards kids and PS2 to adults/teens.  They are consoles, but cater to different groups.

Xbox just sucks!

I never liked Nintendo because of little kids being the focus of there consoles (Pokemon, Mario etc) - but as you say, the PS2 is marketed at young adults, and teenagers, which makes it more popular with me.

The X-box... that just sucks. $30 for the remote control to watch DVDs? The PS2 does that out of the box.

hell, i wouldn't even own one if it wasn't for halo and the upcoming sequel.  ps2 is definitely the winner in market shares, and certainly in game selection.  i got the ps2 for that reason, rpg's and socom and ncaa football.  i just wish microsoft didn't have to buy the rights to that damn game to put it on a piece of shit console.  well what am i gonna do, wait 3 more years to play it on mac like with the first one? no, i think i'll just paint over the xbox with a ps2 ensignia and play it anyway.

PS2 sucks shit because of poor hardware design and a swath of lackluster games

oh, and shitty ass non-antialiased graphics

Yeah and 8 bit nintendo sucks because it doesnt have cool graphics.....lol

Jimmy you should know that graphics mean nothing on a system. You say lackluster games, but every system has a nice share of lackluster games, difference between them and ps2 is it has more good games and original titles. Gamecube holds its own very well too, but xbox is sorely lacking on good games. Sales help prove this point about games and the top selling games are always for PS2, GC, or GBA.
