Sigh, Kwaad what are we gonna do with you? Your logic is seriously flawed. The PS2 had the market to its self the first year. The Gamecube launched alongside the X-box and had the PS2 to contend with.
Uhhh... Notice what you said on the 2nd half. That is my logic. If my logic is flawed. yours is too. :)
Please...
Oh I'm sorry. Those look like PS3 vs GameCube... They also look kinda like PS3 vs Wii actually... They also look like PS2 vs Gamecube like they are.
My point is. On launch... The GameCube... Even competing with the X-Box... Outsold the PS2's launch. the PS2's launch was The only one out. Also... when the GameCube came out... it was already fairly well known... the PS2 was a hard hitter... and was out for a year.
Let's put all 3 together... side by side.
GC / X-box / PS2 / Wii / PS3 / PS1 / N64
709,000 / 790,000 / 461,500 / 547,500 / 226,000 / 144,000 / 351,500
611,000 / 767,000 / 221,500 / 725,000 / 554,500 / 80,000 / 344,000
SUBTOTAL
1,320,000 / 1,557,000 / 683,000 / 1,272,500 / 780,500 / 224,000 / 695,000
GC/ X-Box / PS2 / PS1 / N64
64,500 / 141,000 / 616,000 / 110,500 / 598,000
84,000 / 154,000 / 292,500 / 370,500 / 832,500
120,500 / 150,500 / 275,000 / 81,000 / 167,500
89,000 / 86,000 / 645,000 / 51,000 / 169,500
TOTAL
1,678,000 / 2,088,500 / 2,511,500 / 837,000 / 2,463,000
1month places. - X-Box, GC, Wii, PS2, N64, PS3, PS1.
2month places. - X-Box, GC, Wii, PS3, N64, PS2, PS1.
3month places. - X-Box, GC, PS2, PS1.
4month places. - X-Box, N64, PS2, GC, PS1.
5month places. - X-Box, N64, PS2, GC, PS1.
6month places. - PS2, N64, X-Box, GC, PS1.
Look at those numbers side by side.
If a law says the first 5 months of sales means your console wins... that would mean X-box beat the PS2. Wich as we know... the x-box sold ~20million worldwide... the PS2 is still in production and at around 120million.
Am I wrong? Look at the PS1 vs N64 numbers. The N64 DOMINATED the PS1 for release numbers. and I mean... DOMINATED... Like as in... the N64's launch was STRONG. And the PS1 outsold the N64 by 2x. At the end of it's cycle. Even though the N64 had 3x the sales after 6months.
Will the Wii do the same thing?! That is my question.
