News Article (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-000100182dec18.story?coll=la-headlines-business)
Sony Corp.\'s year-old PlayStation 2 is leading the multibillion-dollar video game console race, followed closely by Microsoft Corp.\'s Xbox and Nintendo Co.\'s GameCube, according to a report released Monday by Credit Suisse First Boston.
Thought some of you might like to see that.. And some of the X-baux trolls we got on here. Maybe I should go post this over on their forum...

The PS2 is still and always will be the king of the mountain. My friend said to not listen to it. He runs Nintendo Nation. He\'s just pissed that GCN is losing.
-
The best console will always outsell the crap ones :) . . . PS2 rules!
-
This is not like "the news of the year".
the only one this is a big suprise is for all the GC and xbox fans that thought that their SUPERIOR hardware would make the PS2 usless. Nobody will buy a PS2 after GC and x-box arrives.
Yeahhhh RIGHT!!!
PS2!! PS2!!!
This war was over before it even started..................
-
It only makes sense. Hey, while we\'re on the subject of NGC...
my girl wants one for all the cutesy games. is it worth the money (is there any chance of there being a game that I would like besides Rogue Squad..?)
-
Played it a couple times. Also played M0k3y Ballz. It was fun.. Its a good party system. To play Monkey Ball on and Smash brothers.
I don\'t think you could go wrong with it..
-
*fastson gets troops ready*
- Make ready!
- Steady!
-FIRE!
*GC and Xbox falls dead to the ground*
-
I love all 3 of these systems. However the one I own I believe is the best.
PS2
Wise choice.
-
Why did I not expect that the PS2 would outsell the competition...I dunno...........MAkes sense..........reason why the X-box isnt selling that well....You have to pay 30 bucks to sctivate the DVD player (for those people who dont have one)......the GAmeCube.....you cant play Normal CD\'s! MAkes total sense to me!
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

Shouldn\'t this be in console debating?
Anyway I just wish my PS2 would work. :(
I think we should see the sales figures once all three consoles are availible world wide. At the moment we can only get the PS2 in the UK.
Although I personally think the PS2 will still do really well.
-
this is to be expected
nothing surprising here at all
-
If more xbox\'s or GameCube\'s were available though, would it of been the same story?
-
Yes.
-
Go post these numbers at Teamxbox and ask all the xbox fanboys why the obsolete PS2 is winning still

easily
The PS2 has name brand recognition and more games to choose from.
Most Casual gamers already familiar with the Playstation name will go into all these game stores and see the 20x\'s more gams to choose from sitting along with there favorites form the last gen like TM:B. GT3, GTA3, MGS2 and others and choose the "safe bet"

Yes very true, I probably shouldn\'t of worded my post like I did, well as long as the person post the numbers intelligently and doesn\'t start bashing xbox fans I guess it would be alright to ask
-
woa! Ps2 on top? haha. Like almost everyone has said already... I\'ll say it one more time...
NO SUPRISE AT ALL!
Long live PlayStation.
-
Who, cares why don\'t you post something original and something we don\'t already know, and this should be in the console debating.:nerd:

Shouldn\'t you just STFU???
I think so.
We don\'t need any hall monitors here.
I HATE that $hit!
Someone makes a nice informitive post and some WAGGOFF pipes up like a weak ass little BI*CH.
This was ABOUT the PS2, and it was good info.
His post did not say PS2 is WAY BETTER than X-BOX, and GC, LETS TALK ABOUT IT!
Get a life will ya.
And you MODS respond to crap like this by actually moving it.
No wonder it\'s such a ghost town in this place lately.

You guys have to consider that there are more PS2s on the shelves. Most of you sound like trolls.

Nintendo has more name-brand recognition and of course Sony would have more games. It\'s been over a year.

let\'s say you\'re a father of a 13 year old. he wants an xbox. you mosey on over to your local Toys R Us to buy one and \'oh golly gee\', they\'re sold out. on the shelves are about 10,000 ps2\'s ready to go. do you go home empty handed or do you buy him a ps2? well, you ask the 16 year old sales kid who tells you that he has a ps2 and loves it. \'it has way more games\'. so you say, what the hell. microsoft can\'t supply the demand so you plop down your 3 bills and take the ps2 home to your kid.
if it wasn\'t for the god awful control pad of the xbox, i\'d have one sitting next to my ps2.

KillaX, you are wrong about one thing and that is the fact that Xbox is selling very well for a new console from a company that is trying to break into a new market and with very few games at this point. 934,000 units in less than two months and expected to hit the million mark before years end, is nothing to sneeze at. Just give it some more time. Xbox hasn\'t even hit it\'s stride yet.

Guys of course the PS2 is outselling XBox and Gcube, because both XBox and Gamecubes aren\'t on the shelves. I\'ve been to all the local stores, K-Mart, Walmart, EB, etc. I see a few XBox systems, no Gamecubes, and a whole mess of PS2s. That\'s why I decided to get a PS2 this Christmas. That and for the games. All of you who posted saying..."It\'s not surprising that PS2 is winning" or "Of course PS2 is winning it\'s the best" sound like typical fanboys. Like I said of course PS2 is outselling Gcubes and Xbox systems. PS2 are the only systems on the shevles this Christmas. Let\'s wait and see next Xmas and see which system outsells the other.

kimathi...
The XBox has only been out for a month.
Or less...

I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt the reason PS2 is outselling XBOX is becuase you have to pay an extra $30 for the DVD remote on the XBOX.

Oops, better put the bong down before I start posting.(jk) Actually there were a lot of distractions and I just didn\'t pay attention to that small faux pas. Thanx for the head\'s up.

I don\'t own stock in Sony, Ms, or nintendo so I really don\'t care.
-
Forget about it! There is simply no way the X-box or GC could outsell PS2 when there none to be bought(sold out) and a half million PS2s sitting on the shelves. I remember when the Intellivision came out I wanted one badly but they were all sold out so I ended up buying a Atari. Had a heck of a good time but I would not have bought one if I could have gotten the other. The pS2 has been out for almost 2 years now with almost no competition and over 100 games to play it makes sense that it is the top seller.
