Short question. What do you think?

GC sales in the US are around 12,000,000... It is good? Bad? Succes? Terrible? or what?

Post your opinion.

 

Personally, i think that is between ok and good... maybe more close to "ok".

It's less than the 2600, so it's under meh, but better than bad.

Why!?

2600 have outsold even the SNES, the Genesis, the N64, and is close with PS3!

2600 was a succes in the US...

It's decent... especially when compared to the Wii U

My thoughts exactly.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Well, those consoles are also meh then. 2600 is best.

Ahem, excuse my bias. I guess the GC did rather good.

I voted "bad" because the Wii U is terrible.

GC is nearly double than Wii U in the US. ^^

Its okay, but comparing it to how much it sold in other places, its pretty great. Half of GCN sales came from the U.S.



bet: lost

For the console, I guess those are somewhat good sales.

Imho, I put Game cube sales on "meh, but close to bad", cause you can't just see "the number alone", you need to see the complete picture and the total numbers of the generation, u need to see the console sales within the number of consoles sold within the generation to which he belongs and the market share.

for example, the last generation:

Wii (Wii)
45.37
PlayStation 3 (PS3)
29.11
Xbox 360 (X360)
48.38

the total was around 123 million, a much higher number than the number of "generation SNES / Genesis", for example.

Within this reality, I would rate:

Xbox / Wii > good> 'cause they dominated about 36 ~ 38% of the market.
Ps3> just ok > 'cause Ps3 had only about 24%, about 60% of xbox 360 total sales.

now let's see the generation Dreamcast / Gamecube / PS2 / Xbox

Dreamcast (DC)
3.90
GameCube (GC)
12:55
PlayStation 2
53.65
Xbox (XB)
15.77

That generation had a total number of approximately 85 million, in this picture we would have:

Dreamcast> terrible> failed to have 5% of the market. not even 10% of Ps3 total sales.

G.cube> meh, but close to bad> only 15% of the market, not even 25 % of PS2 sales number.

PS2> Amazing Sales> dominated more than half the market! approximately 63%, it is truly amazing!

xbox> meh, close to bad> only 18%, a little higher thing than gamecube.

note: Sorry for my english.
