"Xbox and Gamecube Sales Charts"

I don't usually slate consoles, since I own a GC and still considering getting an Xbox, but look at what's number one in the charts... for the GC, surprise... Super Smash Bros Melee, a title that's been released for yonks! The Xbox is even worse... Halo? Since the console's release???

And don't say GTA3 for the PS2 was the same... firstly, GTA is much more diverse in gameplay, and secondly, the games below it were mostly different from the previous week. As for the 'Cube and the Xbox... well... at least things are looking up in the next few weeks leading up to Xmas.

Sales figures are always made up from one chain of stores (such as Virgin) because frankly, you can't count how many games have been sold. And anyway, the majority of the charts are how they are because of casual gamers buying their crap. Read my post in FOG prime. Reeead.

I own a DC,GC,N64 and playstation and I think SSBM for gc is great fun!

Thats the disadvantage of having a hotmail account - getting like 1 email a month from Hotmail Member Services.

Ok time to go and delete the 15-20 Nintendo Emails.

That has to be the most valid point you have ever made!

Well done...

Actually made sense and could be agreed with!

In the single player mode. But if you have friends/brothers to play against, it soon surpasses the 120 hour mark...


Anyway, the Xbox and Gamecube are still offering more than the PS2 did in it's first few months. And it all picks up from here.
The Gamecube gets Resident Evil, Mario Sunshine and Eternal Darkness soon, while the Xbox has also got a fair line-up that I've not looked into.

And anyway, atleast GC/Xbox owners got the likes of Halo/Smash Brothers at launch. PS2 owners had to wait a whole 6 months to get a game the quality of GT3, and a further 6 months before the likes of GTA3 hit the shelves...
