Sales figures from Japan last week:
1. GameBoy Advance - 150,800
2. PlayStation 2 - 38,400
3. GameCube - 37,400
4. XBox - 1,900
5. PS One - 1,800
The japanese like things to be small, like themselves, so I can only assume the XBOX is losing out due to it's immense size. Following on from reports of "poor" christmas sales, it seems that the GC was just leaving it a week later than everyone else.
It is good to see the XBOX outselling the PS1 though.
Thanks to Tiltawhirl for posting this to the Ninties.

So what you are saying is that because I am Asian I couldn't own a Lexus.

I think he was saying that a Lexus is small and that Sniper is an XBox.
The reason XBoxes have started outselling the PSOnes is that more XBoxes are breaking down now that their life cycle (6 months) is nearing an end, and therefore owners are replacing them.

No Cherry that is not what I am saying.
I am saying that you are just a little kid who is seeking the attention of others by lying.
You do not own a Lexus, other than that of a matchbox model or poster, and I highly doubt you are Asian. I suspect that both of these statements were simply made to add 'weight' to the argument you were in at the time.
It's a classic thing that kids do. Some day, you *may* grow out if it, but I fear that this will take quite a few years.
The bottom line is that with little social interaction (i.e. no mates) becoming aware of how society works, and more importantly ***understanding that to be proved wrong, does not mean you have lost the discussion***, will take some time.
It's going to be a long childhood for you Cherry, as when you get out into the real world, an attitude like yours will lead to two things...
a) a *very* big shock and
b) a good kicking on a regular basis
Still it could be worse Cherry, errr, actually no, I don't think it could be. Oh well.

So you copied that stats from a website, big deal.
And being someone who cannot drive, and does not wish to drive, no, I wouldn't jealous even if you did have one.
Besdies, since when did a Lexus become the best car in the world?
