So a system that is well on its way to outsell the snes isn't successful? Okkaayyy......

They don't need to beat PS to be successful, you know...

How dare you speak with so much sense..

The history books and internebs tend to highlight the winner of things. Eg. The winners of gold medals in athletics. The winner of the super bowl of particular years. Who was the first person on the moon (anyone remember who the 2nd person was without looking it up?). The winner of who sold the most consoles.

In 20-30 years time some individuals will fondly remember that the Xbox was 2nd or 3rd, several generations in a row. But everyone will remember who was at the top, the winner!  Few people will say "yeah but Xbox outsold the snes and still came 2nd/3rd". That's just the way history works!
