@ Op Game Cube or N64 same thing, lol. Both of those consoles flopped big time. The Nintendo Wii has done very well to turn things around for Nintendo in such a short amount of time.

 N64 sold 33 million.  That's not exactly a big time flop.

GC sold just 2.3 million less than Xbox.  Was the Xbox a big time flop?

- So far despite being number 1 the Wii is actually getting less multiplatforms games/third parties games than the N64 was getting last gen.

 

(I assume you mean GC...)

Do you mean that GC at the same time after launch had more third party games? Are you sure?

That's why I stopped reading his post. He intentionally typed N64 twice.

In comparison to their direct competition, market leading  Play Station consoles, both Nintendo consoles flopped.

PSX sold 110 million consoles worldwide. N64 only 33 million. Difference around 80 million.

PS2  has sold over 120 million consoles worldwide. GameCube only 21 million. Difference around 100 million.

don´t mind the OP he is just trolling even if it´s subtile still trolling.

The only thing different with this gen is that Nintendo changed the rules completly with the Wii and next gen will be great for all of us since it will force both MS and $ony to inovate for real.

How come PS 1 and PS 2 was in direct competition with N64 and GC when the consoles of the PS were much weaker and now when it´s the other way around the Wii is not in direct competition with PS 3?

This generation the PS3 is in competition with both Nintendo Wii and the XBox 360. I wish the PS3 was winning the generation instead of the Wii.

Many PS3 fans (not all) are cherry picking their console fights.

last gen it was against the xbox too, but what I am wondering is why Sony fans like you time after time say that the Wii doesn´t compete with the PS3 and the 360 but whenever you look back and see the victory of the PS then you always say that
Sony won those gens but never do any of you say that the PS 1 or 2 didn´t compete against N64 or GC even though the systems are in the exact same situation but different positions.
