In other news Medal of Honour is now a Gamecube title aswell.

Nah, you are getting them confused with Rubiks Cubes. :D

Hmmmm, thats a lot of Cubes o_O HOws that compare with Ps2 sales? Lower I guess? Or higher? Tell me! :p

Good launch sales dont always guarentee long term success. So dont read too muc into it.

500,000 cubes came into Europe so not all of them sold...

500,000 PS2s also came into Europe at launch. UK was a sell-out before launch but i'm not sure about the rest of Europe.

Fastest and best selling release of a console in europe ever.

Thats got a nice ring to it.
Well done Nintendo. Now capitalise on it.

Ortega, all European PS2s were sold, so surely that makes the PS2 the fastest selling ans most successful console launch in Europe ever?

How long did it take for all PS2's to sell though?

They were ALL preordered... they were still getting pre-orders sent out at xmas!

Sonic

Half the pre-ordered PS2's weren't available on the day though...

And half of the rest weren't even picked up because either people couldn't be bothered or they thought they didn't stand a chance of getting theirs until the rest of the shipment came in.

A bit of a shambles really! :-D
