Anyway, what does sales matter? Get the system with the games you
like,
why
do you care which system SELLS the most? Do you buy cars too simply
because
one model sells more than the others?

Simply? No, but that's a major factor. You will usually get better
deals, better service, better choice of dealers, better choice of
servicers, better resale market, better choice of accessories that fit
(stereo speakers, tires, etc.), better availability of replacement
parts, etc. In addition, a large sales volume is also a hint that the
product is good.

And so what?

So.... some people care which system sells the most, and often with good
reason.

I must be the only one wondering but when exactly did the damn XBOX2 come
out, unless it's a typo

Answer not yet!!! So how the hell can sales be other than nonexistent .....
dumb ass

Simply proves that going into the bedroom with M$ means getting it the
ass... the only true unknown, is if KY Jelly is used or not.

Perhaps... Nvidia refused to work on the XBox2?

Xbox2 sales are still weak, I would never buy one. Unlike SONY and
Nintendo - M$ hasn't made a dime on the XBOX.

future products to create innovative Xbox products and services that
serve
the digital entertainment lifestyle." Todd Holmdahl, general manager of
Xbox
hardware, said in a statement.

Changing partners comes with advantages and risks, said Kevin Krewell,
senior editor of The Microprocessor Report. On one hand, Microsoft will
get
access to a broad new portfolio of intellectual property it can use to
fashion customized chips for its console.

Switching partners can also clear away some of the bad feelings that
arose
in regard to the first Xbox. For Intel, supplying 733-MHz Pentium IIIs to
Microsoft had become a low-margin business, Krewell said. Nvidia and
Microsoft, meanwhile, went to arbitration over their contract. At the
time,
Nvidia was afraid that it would get stuck with unusable chips or have to
sell parts at a loss. " [...]

And so what? The Xbox is #2 selling. This means that the PS2 install base
is increasing over that of the XBOX.

As of today, world wide sales of the BIG 3....

Saying XBOX is Kickins Nintendo's ass is stupid, since the difference
between the two is hard to guage - but its less than a million units.

SONY has more units than both XBOX and Game Cube put together.

I think we must be getting mixed up here. I'm just saying that despite
increasing xbox sales, the PS2 is still *selling* more and thus its user
base is increasing over that of the xbox.
