PS2 & GBA Win
by Steve Gibson, Dec 10, 2001 2:04pm PSTIEMag got a hold of some sales figures for the three big console machines out there, looks like the Playstation2 / GTA3 combo is leading the way ahead of both Microsoft and Nintendo.
- PlayStation 2 seems to have taken the next-gen console hardware crown for the post-Thanksgiving weekmoving 241,000 units to bring its total U.S. installed base to 5.2 million units - Grand Theft Auto 3, with 137,000 units sold in its sixth full week at retail - Microsoft moved an estimated 182,000 more Xbox units in this time - GameCube sales dropped dramatically, reporting 65,000 units sold for the weekOh, of course there wasnt much doubt of this one, but the GameBoy Advance lead the way past everyone with 260,000 units sold.

After finishing GTA3, discovering that MGS2 was not only stupid plotified but also boring, and seeing Xbox and Gamecube @ 480p on my HDTV... the PS2 just had to go. Its not that I couldn't afford to keep it, its that the other two consoles were getting annoyed by having that piece of shit sitting next to them.

Apparently, they didn't include the Nintendo sales from Walmart - and in fact, XBox is not leading the GC. As soon as I find a link to the story, I'll post it.

so what if the dvd playback suck on the consoles? as they see it, if every ps2 makes someone buy just one dvd, they make a huge profit. plus, dvd buying is addictive. like they don't know that. even when renting it generates more profit.
gamecube is being labelled EVERYWHERE as a kiddie machine that will ONLY PLAY GAMES. in almost those exact words. of course, no self-respecting publication will trash the cube outright, but will do multiple comparisons and point out at the cube's shortcomings. "OH! but it is a fun machine for the kids"... pfft.

Needless to say if the page itself can't load up within 5 seconds on a high speed net connection, I'm not gonna take the time to read someone's propaganda.
But yeesh, maybe they should think about cutting down on those pathetic ads so people can read their content?
