360 Numbers don't add up!

The 360 is doing slightly worse than the Xbox did sales wise. And initially the Gamecube sold over 1.8 M in November and December of release. So the best 360 sales have equaled the best gamecube sales. The point is the PS2 hammered gamecube and xbox when they first came out. They set themselves up with good games, good supply, and a decent price. 360 was not able to capitalize on those. The nex gen war is alive and well. It was over the first year last gen as PS2 put up impossible numbers to catch. I don't really care how well the PS2 sold the last couple of years. The fight was over.

Just to clarify one thing... it took the Xbox 19 months to reach the 10 million shipped level. The 360 did it in 13... tying the PS2 as the fastest to reach the 10 million mark. The 360's sales are not behind the Xbox, and at this point aren't behind anybody's sales figures for a launch. While it's HIGHLY unlikely it will match the PS2's total in the end (beyond unlikely, actually), it will clearly sell at least double of the Xbox 1 or GameCube, and I doubt many people here would argue that. And, I'll gladly take a bet with you if you don't think it'll outsell the Xbox 1!
