Just thought i should share this article:
Well, it has been one heck of a year for Sony, in fact, the entire gaming industry. With the Xbox and GameCube launching in middle November, the Playstation 2 was faced with some heavy competition, right? Well, sort of. As reported, the Xbox was able to sell 1.5 million units before the end of 2001, with the GameCube selling a respectable 1.2 units. And then there was this one-year old, out of date console with graphics that have been apparently outdone and games that just couldn\'t save such an ancient product. But wait; what\'s this? Hmmm..."The Playstation 2 sells 3 million units in two months". Wow, I guess something went wrong over at Microsoft and Nintendo if they can\'t beat such a worthless console with inferior graphics. Specifically, more than 988,700 PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems were sold during November 2001 and nearly two million additional units during December 2001. These positive sales numbers shot the PlayStation 2 installed base to about eight million units in North America since it\'s launch 14 months ago.
Interesting, eh?
