Those are the consequences of truth through repetition. The general consensus in the video game world is that the Xbox was a success and the GC a failure.

You know as well as I do that the general consensus is BS. The GC was profitable. The Xbox was one of the worst financial disasters in gaming history. What was the final tally on that systems losses? 6 or 7 Billion dollars?

That's the fun of it. In hindsight, their losses didn't matter: edging out Nintendo was all that was important, and now that's fixed in the public consciousness that GameCube was the also-ran and the 6th generation was some kind of epic battle between Sony and Microsoft, when really it's just Sony's runaway success and Nintendo and Microsoft scraping for scraps.
