Considering Gamecube eventually didn't get to the market until the end of 2001 (and even 2002 in Europe) the assumptions underlying the article are incorrect in the first place. The true story was that PS2 got up to a big lead before the competition even arrived and it never looked back afterwards. PS3 is in a completely different situation compared to the PS2 in this article.

- PS2 went on the have a big lead to start with, PS3 does not have this luxery.
- The article was written before PS2 was actually launched, and it sold well. The PS3 is now around 8 months into its lifecycle and sales are far from impressive.

If you want to believe that PS3 is in the same position as PS2 at the moment then go ahead. Just realise that some facts are not supporting your theory and some article written in 2000 will not change that.
