Does anyone know if the GameCube has outsold the Xbox yet in terms of 'total number of machines sold'?

GC sold about 85,000 in its first 2 days whilst Xbox sold approx 45,000 machines. Therefore i reckon GC may have outsold Microsoft's console by now...

And don't forget classics like Metroid Prime.
And all of you should be aware that all the Resident Evil games are being released on GC including a new one around 2004 (according to NGC Magazine)...

$199 (in america), and the GC is selling the best in america at the mo because of Resident Evil, but will it stay top when that game is done and dusted?

Go go go GameCube! I know its shifting well and even though Nintendo shipped loads of GC's to Europe and the UK. I still see shortages! Thats a good thing!

People seem to think that Gamecube will loose sales now PS2 is dropping it's price, but seeing as most people who want one, have one, I doubt it will...

Well, that 49% are of the buyers who could not afford it at first - Where are the 50% shares this week?


GC has had a far more successful launch in Europe than the XBox - and pretty much everywhere else too!

That 49% of all next gen sales was only for one particular week last month.

Microsoft a yet to release any solid sales figures for Europe and that can only one mean one thing really...

i've heard that ever since the xbox price drop, 49% of all console sales in UK (around 50% for other areas of Europe) has been for the xbox...
so i doubt that gc has outsold xbox just yet.
wouldn't be surprised if it does in the future
