The company claims those sales numbers make the GameCube the fastest selling console in history

It\'s not the fastest selling console in history. Everyone knows PS2 sold out in an hour on release date and you couldn\'t get them when they were having the 100,000 shipment a week deal. It was a coincidence I got it. Right place at the right time.

Gamecube sold more in a week. Because they shipped more consoles.

OMG PS2 didn\'t slaughter the competition in everything?!

*jumps off building*

They didn\'t sell more consoles. They weren\'t the fastest selling. Of coarse Nintendo was going to say \'oh our console is the fastest system\'. Thanks to this post, I am now over 900.

Nintendo sent around 700,000 for launch.  Sony sent around 500,000 for launch.  

P.S. At the rate I\'m going I\'m going to be the most hated person on the boards.

I don\'t think Gamecube sold the fastest.  I do think that is BS.  A little misunderstanding.

Cool now?

Dajona, you should feel honored.  You are the first newbie in the past month that Clyde didn\'t throw poop at.

Well uh back to the topic.  The media is notorious for believing anything anybody says.  We\'ve seen it happen time after time.  Especially when it comes to video games.

Anyway, back to topic. Nintendo are liars, just like they have always been. Everyone know that ps2 broke the records and is still king of the hill, and most people seem to forget that they sold around 720.000 units on day one in japan.

You know it doesn\'t really make 2 goat nuts to me.  I don\'t want to rush out and buy a Gamecube any more now than I did before hearing all that.

PS2 wins anyway and thats the truth
