Post by: Chrono on June 24, 2001, 07:12:37 PM

This INCLUDES Handhelds

PlayStation 2  51.2%
GameBoy Advance 28.5%
GameCube 14.1%
XBox 3.1%
PS One 1.7%
GameBoy Color 1.4%


I won\'t comment on the obvious above..

However, if you add 2 of them you get another
(I know, I kick ass in math, so sue me.. hehehe :) )

Where did you get your numbers? Magazine?

I think Xbox might grab more the 3 percent. :D
I don\'t think PS2 will get 51 percent, it might be 40.
Just My opinion :D

Howdy Chrono, long time no see.

I don\'t think that the market share of PS2 will be 51%, unless they are talking purely games sold.

I am about 90% sure that GBA will outsell PS2. and I am more than half sure that X-Box will grab more than 3%, probably more like 9 to 15 sounds reasonable.

im not sure if the GBA will outsell the PS2, I think (i could be wrong) but the gameboy only sold more units world wide over the PSX because it had been out for so much longer...

Not really GB sold more than PSX becuase it had no real competition at all.

what I don\'t get is how last year they said that PSX sold 75 million consoles. Now they say 100 millon+. How the hell did it jump 33% in one year? I dont the numbers that fastson posted were too accurate.
