PlayStation 2 - 157.68M

Xbox - 24.65M

Gamecube - 21.74M

 

You're saying that Xbox held its own against PS2 and Gamecube failed, even though there's less than a 3M difference between those two whereas the PS2 sold THREE TIMES MORE than BOTH consoles COMBINED? If Gamecube was a failure, so was OG Xbox. 

Xbox was a brand new console, and it outsold a veteran platform in its debut year. That Cannot be considered a failure. 

GC was the 4th console from nintendo, and didnt sell as well as the N64 and even sold less than a newcomer in the xbox. That to me is a failure. Its not just about numbers.

Then now this gen, PS4 is the best selling playstation console in aonys history to date, Xbox one is the best selling ever Xbox console to date and the wiiU is the worst sellimg nintendo console to date. 

You can justify it all you want, but at the end of the day we care about numbers. PS2 sold six times as many units as OG Xbox, and OG Xbox didn't even break 30M. That's a failure. 

 

And Xbox One also hasn't sold as much as the worst selling PlayStation, so I'm not so sure it's quite time to sing its praises.
