http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20011129/tc/nintendo_outsells_the_competition_with_gamecube_launch_1.html
click above link for propaganda
stalin would be proud of that journalism
The company claims those sales numbers make the GameCube the fastest selling console in history
NO CRAP! like they\'re gonna say "my brand new, state of the art, most advanced product sold the 2nd most in history!" and then be proud
*yawn*
was at the mall today and saw 3 GC\'s sitting on shelf in store
shame my hatred for post-snes nintendo costs more than 199$
i refuse to pay nintendo full price, ill get one opened at funcoland
-
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*
-
dajona, please stop with the theatrics
ill get you a gamecube cross and you can climb up on it if you want
i dont care if PS2 beat GC [which it did]
my rant is with the media AND nintendo taking claim for something they didnt do
-
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.

Now that\'s good stuff. Comedy gold.
-
hated?
no reason for that. you seem to know yer stuff for the most part, and you havent called anyone outside of thier name?
whats to hate?
most people like a good argument
*emp rob
/me takes a bow. im here all week
-
I don\'t think Gamecube sold the fastest. I do think that is BS. A little misunderstanding.
Cool now?
-
we always were cool
welcome to the forums btw, newb :P
-
ok good.

He\'s the admin at nintendo-nation.com. I work as a mod there. He knows sometimes what he\'s talking about.
-
dajona, i dont do this very often but you have appeased me
choose a avatar like us and you may have it
just make sure its less than 100x100 pixels, and PM me the URL to it
-
I\'d have an avatar now but I don\'t want my stars to freeze along with my rank.
-
I\'ll let you know when I find one. Thanks man.
-
did he just call me "man" ?
ill have you know that we primates pose threat to retake the world back at ANY time mister!
silly human
-
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.

WOW, offered a pic at 12 posts, AND called "silly human" all in one day! Dajona, you\'re going to make ooseven jealous! :D
-
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.
-
yea really who cares about sales figures unless you are planning on making an investment in that company or something
PS2 wins anyway and thats the truth
but anyway
