| deadhorse said: The gamecube didn't do very well in the US compared to the Xbox. http://vgchartz.com/worldcons.php 44.86 million PS2s 16.34 million Xboxes 12.44 million Game Cubes It's hardly fair to say "The gamecube didn't do very well in the US compared to the Xbox". 4 million is not a huge difference compared to 28.5 million difference between the Xbox and the PS2.

I would argue that selling 3/4ths as many units as the Xbox is "didn't do very well compared to the Xbox." Especially when you consider that Nintendo was well established. Nintendo themselves said that if they only sold as many Wiis as they sold 'cubes, it would be a failure. Still, it didn't do terrible in the US against the Xbox, but it didn't do very well against it either.
4 million shouldn't be a big gap, but it's a huge relative gap when you're talking about 12.4 and 16.3 milion units sold.
