Damn...that is quite a difference in sales.

Even the XBox sales are kicking the GC ass.

It's a frickin' greek tragedy.

Oh how the mighty have fallen, after so many screws up (Like Mr. njiska mentioned in another thread)

The tides of time have changed..

Praise from Caesar, how Apt.

The only good thing about the GC's demise is that now it will live on as a cult system. Not cult like the DC, but cult none the less.

[Richter Belmount]

heh i been collecting for it (part of the cult) , damn dude nintendo has gotten their arses kicked i remember when nintendo kicked arse in sales

Madden PS2 sold 71.1 million copies or only made $71.1 million. I'm confused.

I don't much care for Nintendo's little mini DVDs, their controller, or their lack of online support... I'm going to go ahead and guess that a couple dozen million people feel the same as I do.

[Mianrtcv]

It was a pattern. The NES and SNES were so sweet... then N64, still pretty sweet. Not the same though. Now Gamecube, personally I like it better than my n64 but nowhere in the same ballpark as NES or SNES of course. JMO. Come back Shane...

[Famidrive-16]

Well, if you exclude XBox's Madden, then the GC's Madden has sold more than the other XBox games.

See I tried to save this. :/

[slip81]

sad, but not surprising. The poor GC has been in a downward spiral for some time now. I hope the Revolution comes and kicks ass, but I'm not sure how much faith the gaming masses are willing to put into Nintendo's home consoles anymore.

[PDorr3]

it appears the GC is on its last life line, and if Zelda:TP is released on it, that will be its last gasp of air. Its hard to see the system go down like this. Really though I looked over every GC game ever released and there were maybe only 15-20 must have exclusive GC only titles.
Also another factor is that PS2 and XBOX versions of madden have online capabilities, so its no doubt those versions will sell more.

[smokehouse]

Hooray, Madden sales. Well, let’s see here. I don’t see GC units in any rap videos or on any episodes of Pimp my Ride….possibly that’s why it’s not sold so well. I’ll take my GC over that piece of shit Xbox and the washed up, currently overpriced and unreliable PS2.

Madden sales or not.

Funny enough, those millions of copies will be worth $300 combined a year from now…

[classicb]

well seing how Madden and NCAA are the big sellers and if anybody else in america likes taking their NCAA player into Madden then not having NCAA on the Cube might be a factor that and the already mentioned lack of onine support.

Besides that I'd like to point out that right now is not a good time to look at Cube sales figures. Who wants to play Geist which isn't even on the list?

[pragmatic insanester]

the real loser here is whoever spent that much money on charlie and the chocolate factory.

It's pretty bad when a piece of shit like that makes the top 10, let alone the top 5. Ouch.

[Slimedog]

Ha!

Seriously, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anybody. Don't get me wrong, its very sad and I probably wouldn't have believed it a year ago. Also, I think Nintendo deserves credit for sticking it out as long as they have. I thought the Dreamcast and Saturn had the plug pulled before their time and it seems like the big N doesn't go down that road.

Yes exactly at least Nintendo still supports the Gamecube if it was Sega in the same place Im sure we would be reading one their infamous "the Gamecube is not Nintendos future" quote and killing the system off like a lame horse
just like they did with Saturn.

Madden PS2 sold 71.1 million copies or only made $71.1 million. I'm confused.

No game (for one system) has even sold more than 17 million copies. There aren't even 71.1 million PS2's.

"No game (for one system) has even sold more than 17 million copies. There aren't even 71.1 million PS2's. "

Sony passed 71.1 million PS2's sold quite sometime ago.
