Again, the console wars are about profit, not just selling the most amount of consoles.

Gamecube beat PS2 last gen?


That's the most idiotic thing i've read today....Sony made a ton more profit off the ps2 than Nintendo did with the gamecube...I get that your trying to be clever, but please, do research before making yourself look stupid.

Calm down.

Not sure how accurate this is, though you'll probably refute it regardless.

Calm down?  um, ok

Anyways, those number include GBA and GC, it's hard to gauge just how much profit Nintendo made on the GC alone, at least with those numbers.  And if I am wrong, and the GC did in fact make more profit than the ps2, then yes, the GC was the console champ that gen.

It's the whole gaming divison, so that's true. Still, there is a possibility that the Gamecube did make more profit despite selling less than 1/7th what the PS2 did. I was just trying to point out that profits do not dictate whether a console wins a generation or not.

I know what you were trying to do, but lets be honest, their is no "real" way to dictate who wins a console war.  The winner is always debated by the fan boys, but all in all, what really matters is profits.  That's why I believe that whoever makes the most money from their console is the winner, because that's all that matters in the end.  If Sony sells the ps4 at 100 dollars, ends up selling 100 million units, but goes bankrupt and exits the console wars, while neither the wiiU or xbox720 break 50 million, make a big profit, and go on to better things.  Would you really declare sony the winner?  I wouldn't, if you can be forced to go bankrupt because of your console AND win the console wars, then something is seriously wrong.
