Here this should be a good example of why the PS2 line is hard to make sense of when comparing to the early life of a console.

As you can see the Gamcube line blends in pretty well with the PS2 line at the beginning of its lifetime. So its really not a good way to look at it if you want a good idea of how they are performing in these early stages.

I am really hoping that in the future we will have the ability to zoom in or set the window size so we can look closer and see the differences a lot clearer.

of course everyone who uses the PS2 line to defend anything always have that "launches aligned" checkbox checked.

Anyone who has seen this picture must know that last generation was never in doubt and the PS2's "slow launch" where they only had one region never really mattered, the Xbox and Gamecube never looked like challenging the PS2.

A head start is much more important than most people make it out to be. You need to overcome that headstart QUICKLY, or there is no incentive to develop for your console.

a good headstart is very important but if a console can build momentum then it can overcome the headstart
