PS2 outsells Gamecube by 2:1
Reported By Aaron Randolph | 01:58 PM EST | Source: Famitsu
Famitsu.com today posted the sales figures for last week, and with Gamecube managing to sell a meagre 21337 units, PS2\'s position as the console of choice in Japan (other the seemingly unstoppable GBA) seems as safe as ever

Not suprising at all. Nintendo needs to stop launching systems with just three or so games every time. Why do they do stupid sh*t like that when it keeps on screwing them over?

I hope the sales pick up soon. I\'m wanting the GC to do well. I\'m sure it will when a few more games are released

Correct me if i\'m wrong, but didn\'t the PS2 launch in Japan with only a few games too?  And so did the Dreamcast, and just about every other system too.  This is a normal thing in Japan.  Unfortunately for Nintendo, people in Japan would rather have the PS2\'s huge amount of games than just the few that are released on NGC right now.  Sales will start picking up when more games come out.  This is only the beginning.  The race hasn\'t even begun yet (once the Xbox comes out, then the race begins. :))

yea well for some reason i see North America being a very big figure in this console war

and also by that i feel that GC and PS2 will do better here then in japan this time around

the reason i didnt mention Xbox because its a gimmie with doing better here

but anyway GC will come around sooner or later
