Surprising that the Xbox was already selling more than the GameCube in 2002 considering Microsoft just entered the console business.

Halo, man. That game was absolutely huge, and probably the most important launch title since SMB was released alongside the NES over 16 years previous. IIRC something like half of all OXboxes sold in the first six months or so had a copy of Halo attached to them. However, the Xbox was flat YoY in the U.S. in 2003, while the GC grew almost 40%, thus allowing the GC to be the overall winner that year.

By your own thread I would say FF VII was bigger than Halo 1.

FF7 wasn't a launch title though..
