VISS, VISS, VISS -

Are you saying the GameCube, which has been out for a half of a year, does not have the installed userbase of the PS2? [i]There's[/i] a big surprise. And are you saying that the [b]500 million dollars[/b] that M$ has spent to push the Xbox in America has garnered it a buzz with the hip and swingin' teens? Yet [i]another[/i] big surprise.

And now, the truth: PS2 has been on the market more than three times as long as GameCube and Xbox has sold the big 200K or so more than Cube IN AMERICA. Worldwide, Xbox will continue to be spanked. And as far as American userbases go, you'll see the proverbial paradigm shift starting in August if not June.

Games sell systems.

And yes, I know quite a few people who own cubes. You have to look beyond the 6th graders. Melee is still the number one party/multiplayer game with students at UCDavis here in California. My best buddies (between 18 and 26) all come over and prefer Melee and Soccer Slam to Halo and Fusion Frenzy.

It's just a matter of preference.
