Didn't Xbox release pretty late in the scene? I think Patcher is probably trying to say that it's never lost in the US when the timing of console releases was this close together. It's easy to lose in the US when your competitor has been out on the market with no (real) competition so successfully (Wii U situation was not successful even without competition) for a while before you entered the market.

 

and even then, they still outsold the GameCube. 

 

You could say the same for the GameCube perhaps, but it's true there as well. The PS2 had the chance to explode even larger thanks to the lack of competition for a good while. Not saying that would've changed the winner of that gen, but it made a difference nonetheless.
