The PS2 launch day had people queueing for days, even trailing electric sockets to the stores so the can play on the outside.
The GC launch day went with a bit of a fizz, with a couple of small queues.
Evidentally, this shows that the PS2 was more eagerly awaited than the GC. Why is this?

Ok. fair point. Which is very true... but if half of these Playstation2's were called back because of DVD faults, and a third of them had faulty memory card slots, and some had regional problems... lemme think..... oh look... with working consoles!

The GC has half the volume of the PS2 and a 1/3 the volume of the Xbox.
