And look how well the Gamecube sold compared to the weaker PS2 and Xbox back then. Power didn't help sales, so yeah. Anyways, I'm done here, this trivial discussion benefits neither of us. Gamecube slaughtered the PS2 in raw power, and yet only sold 1/5 of what the PS2 sold, hmm, intriguing!
Bad example. Nothing could really be competition for the PS2. It was a screaming deal since it could play DVDs as DVD players were pricey when the first came out. They got a huge install base. The Xbox and GC never stood a chance. It didn't help that Nintendo used 1.3 GB mini DVDs and the GC didn't have the value added feature of being a DVD player.
