wow.. keep in mind folks that
1.) The xbox and ps2 price drops were the same
2.) Ps2 also dropped the price on memory cards, controllers, 1st party games. But i doubt it had that much impact
3.) The GCN price drop was less then the ps2 and xbox price drop.
4.) The GCN had no new games released..


The gamecube beat the xbox! Go Nintendo


Wait a second.. the article says
Sales in April
This is before any price cuts!

how silly of me.. Pardon..

:shy:

still 218 000 = :eek: :eek:

Sony said PS2 sales went up 5-8 times after the pricecuts.. So we can expect 1 090 000 to 1 744 000 in May? :eek:

Hum, those numbers would be a tad bit too high, because the price drop was just at E3, which was at the end of Mai. So, if PS2 sold through at the same rate as it did in April (218\'000/month), we can expect it to sell ~147\'000 until the price drop + the units sold after the price drop with the 5 to 8 increase.

Based on these numbers, we can expect a Mai sell through of about ~400\'000 to ~550\'000 units.

Those are some impressive numbers for all systems...I expected the Xbox to be much lower considering its\' price and the lack of games...

I would love to see the effect the price drops had...

For XB, probably little if any effect, maybe they should come out with more games?:rolleyes:

Actually Xbox had a sales boost cause when I was buying my PS2 right after the price drop, I asked the guy how Xbox was doing and he said that they were doing better thanks to the price drops.  Im sure though GC and PS2 kicked the CrapBox\'s a$$

How\'d you come up with that conclusion?:nerd:

Being that the numbers were so close to GC I wouldn\'t doubt if they were running neck and neck...

From the article:

"Sony`s PS2 sold through approximately 218,000 units in April,"

Hope that answers your question, Mr Bob.

The pricedrops have started a mania of sorts. EB reported nearly a 700% increase on PS2 and XBox hardware over when they collected data from the 2 weeks before. GC had over a 350% increase in hardware.

EB sells 12% of PS2 and XBox hardware for the US. THey only sell 5% of GC hardware, though. My store has seen a big jump in XBox and PS2, while GC sold out of the 10 or so we had in last Thursday. We have not received any GC\'s more, nor do we have any coming in. I am thinking Nintendo may have shifted untis to Europe for their launch, or something.

But.. I thought you didnt care about sales numbers. And I thought you said that you weren’t biased like the rest of us. So why would you care if PS2 is selling better than Xbox?

My god.. I cant believe what a X-zelot you’ve turned into.. All this hate for PS2 and still trying to hide it.. Sad, very sad.

Ill save this thread on my Harddrive btw.. We will see, we will see :)

PS: Clean your PM folder.. I want to send that message.. Or are you to much of a coward?

You\'ve been here for two months nonamer, how can you have a valid opinion about anything in regards to the quality of this board?  Besides, we don\'t mind that you complain, you should do it in rants and raves though, not publicly say how everything sucks and yet continue to post here anyways.  You\'re just wasting your time and ours.

Why do there even need to be console wars?  Just buy what you want, and stop trying to make yourself feel better about your purchase by bashing what you don\'t have.

Either that, or just shut up and get a Gamecube ;)

I\'ve lurked here for a year beforehand:eek: But still, it would be hard to deny that this board isn\'t full of bashers/fanboys/trolls, of all systems I may add. Anyhow, you could have not been an @$$ of a mod by replacing my post with "I AM A NERD." You can move threads around you know.

Of course I can, but it\'s my perogative to deal with moronic posts as I seefit.  You can be upset about the forum all you want, but once you start doing that all day and flaunting around that fact, then there is no reason for you to be here at all.  Nobody is perfect, much less a message board filled with people all trying to express their different ideas and notions.  If that\'s hard for you to take in, then please, by all means, stick to team XBox or find another board.  You lurked for a year here and just now, instead of just posting regularly, you have taken it upon yourself to bash the rest of us.  There is no gain in this in the long run.  So just stop or contribute intelligently so that way this place does improve.

The "war" is over...so what.  As for game over...far from it.  All three companies have a truckload of software coming out that will keep the masses happy...that is not something one company has over another.

As for Next Generation war...you bored with your PS2 already?

The sales have been pretty much like that since day one, and like I said the console war was over 3 months ago.

And as PSM magazine put it, the real war is over number 2.

Why even worry?
