With the PS2 so dominant, and still shifting in big numbers, have the XBox & GC lost all chance of catching PS2. The fight for xBox and GC is now about survival. Can they survive with the number of units they are shifting? Most people have already bought a PS2. The remainder have 3 machines to choose from, but the number of games for PS2 looks to be the most important issue.

ITS NOT ABOUT catching the PS2. Its about making money. Nintendo are the best company at doing this and in the videogaming world, always have been.

Hush.

I second THAT notion. Nintendo know what they're doing.

Hmmmm, how do you expect them catch up so soon when both the x-box and Gc have only been out for a few months, while the PS2 has been out for over two years? There's every chance these consoles will catch up, in time, so comparing their sales so soon seems a little premature.

And yet in profit, Sony didn't make much from the Playstation or now even the Playstation 2. Whereas Nintendo recorded the biggest growth EVER in their history last year with a 72% rise in profits.

So you're saying that the millions of people who bought Simpsons Wrestling weren't wrong?
