| Chris Hu said: Also its a bit unfair to compare the sales of two well established franchises to a new IP and the second Halo 2 could have done a bit better if it wasn't also available on the PC and the first one could have sold a bit better also even though it didn't get a PC release until two years after it launched on the X-Box. |
Stop making excuses, it would have done better if.......
Speculating on how things would have been in different scenarios is fun but it doesnt change the fact that Gamecube and Xbox were almost equal in pretty much every aspect, hardware/software/tie ratio/best sellers. They were both fighting for an extremely distant 2nd place. Now u could say it was a moral victory for Microsoft to be able to beat Nintendo in its first attempt but thats irrelevant to this discussion. The fact remains that there was no duopoly in the 6th gen, PS2 dominated each and every region with an iron first while Xbox/Gamecube fought hard to stay relevant.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
