Is there a chance that the Gamecube can beat the Xbox in terms of sales?

I can confirm that you are insane. Yes the GC is still selling, but only by about 2000 units a week. at best.

That's it? 2,000 a month? Must be a little more than that. They are only $99 for crying out loud. You would have thought that the Wii hype might have gave the Gamecube a little boost in sales, since it brought Nintendo's name back up. Nintendo has always been cheaper than Sony, so I still find it hard to believe than the Playstation, and Playstation 2, far outsold the Nintendo 64, and Nintendo Gamecube.

How did Xbox beat the Gamecube? How?

Sure, the GC is only $99, but the Wii plays Gamecube games, is only $249, and is THE NEW HOTNESS that everyone is talking about.  People are going to hold out for a Wii (if they can't find one) rather than spending $99 on a system that will become obsolete as soon as Wii supply catches demand.
