Q8: How do you see the market being divided?

PS2: 51.2%
GBA: 28.5%
GC: 14.1%
XB: 3.1%

Yeeeeouch! Heheh (Amon from the PS2 Ign boards)

Okay then, here\'s some non-Japanese statistics from gamers.

Does it hurt watching the Xbox get trashed?(Amon from the PS2 Ign boards)

Sony/Nintendo are the kings of the console world.

Look at the little Japanese people laughing at the XBox.

Le me quote Vince McMahon on this

XBox has no chance in hell of surviving in Japan.

So the developers estimated the exact market up to the tenth of a point, or on a scale of 1 to 1000?  That\'s pretty retarded considering two of those systems won\'t be out for another five months.

I also don\'t like the way GBA, in effect, lowers the marketshare of the consoles.  It is listed as a separate force when many GBA users will likely own a console, as well....  But that could be solved if they are actually looking at percentages of the entire videogame software sold...  Or is it based on hardware?  Global or just in Japan?  Initially or after several years (would impact the PS2 presence on the chart)? Overall, those guesses are too vague to be taken seriously, IMO.

This is in Japan I think, but I didn\'t wrtie this, ok, so you needs to shut the hell up.  Anyways Xbox boy looks like XBox doesn\'t have a chance in either of the 3 polls.

Was that all directed at me?  Fair enough...  As for the first part, I replied to your post.  If you didn\'t want people to do that, you shouldn\'t have bothered in the first place.  Also, you somehow got offended by my neutral remarks...  My advice to conquer that feeling is to just relax when you read posts.  Take the attitude that if someone disagrees, it doesn\'t matter.  (That\'s why I don\'t care that you told be to shut the hell up, heh).

Also, I\'m not so much an "Xbox boy" as I am a Nintendo Man. ;]

Before replying you should have read the links I gave you, then you would realize what the polls were asking for, ok........If you had done that this little confusion would not ever had happen.

X-Box is a Great Piece of Hardware and I can\'t see one reason why this console shouldn\'t be successful...

Hardware yes..
But that is not the point!!

Developers gotta support the console or there will be NO games..

Games is the only thing that matters..

Am I right?

PS2 is really in a Good Position...but...again...it\'s too early to deliver any judgement about this so called "console war"...

I agree! It will look rather foolish and redundant to point out what by then will be obvious to everyone:D
