According to gamespot the Gmecube outsold the Ps2 by 20 percent in the U.S in the month of October and the Xbox by a whopping 145%. This might mean that companies like Acclaim or Eidos could give the cube a second chance!

Wasn't that just game sales, not console sales?

Sh*t that was funny...
Sh*t that was funny...
I suppose it's no thanks to the piece-of-crap advert Nintendo have done. :-P
"Whooooooooooo!"
"Whooooooooooo!"
The full article:
"Those calling for price drops in the Xbox and PS2 got some major ammunition today, with Nintendo announcing that its recently discounted GameCube is the top-selling console in the US.
In a statement, Nintendo cited figures that had the Cube outselling Sony's PlayStation 2 by a solid 20 percent during the week of October 4. The spread was even wider for Microsoft's Xbox--GameCube sales surpassed Xbox sales by a whopping 145 percent. Unfortunately, hard sales numbers won't be available until the next Toy Retail Sales Tracking Service (TRSTS) report.
The figures are a vindication for Nintendo's bold price cut last month, which dropped the GC's price from $149 to just $99. It is possible that the high sales numbers will help convince skittish publishers that the platform is here to stay. It may even convince Eidos, who announced last month it would no longer support the platform, to give the GameCube a second chance. "

And just to think, certain anti-Nintendo forum members fully guaranteed that the GC would be "dead in six months". They said that about seven months ago now if I remember correctly.
Oh how wrong they were.
Oh how wrong they were.
