The gamcube even though I love it still failed. The price was low which I love but ps2 and xbox still sold more and their prices are high. Also Nintendo in general kills them all because the handheld market is their own thing and they have been the only ones making it for some time so it's like it had an monopoly.

The Gamecube didn't fail. It still sold boatloads of units, enough to make an profit. It didnt out sell PS2 and XBOX, but it still sold really well. Thus making it not a fail.

Sega, Atari and a couple of other companies made handhelds, but they all failed.

Sure people buy it thinking it will be gerat like 64 but then it's in the corner collecting dust. Then the went and put the price to 75 to hope people will get it. They got desparate/. Ever 5 gc's sold is like one ps2 and xbox...

well i don't mind if the gamecube is a 'fail' i find that very hard to believe though they come third they make more money then both companies on their Consoles as Because the gamecube has a marjinal profit on each system sold so then and the fact that Microsoft is losing money on each console sold, but because they uses DVD based media for their games most of them have been pirated so on taht note they lose money. But because Nintendo usues its own media for its gamecube it was not as easily suspectible to pirating, though the same thing can't be said about the gameboy.

What are you talking about, every console loses money regardless of what price they are at, they simply dont make much money from selling consoles. They make their money on 'ACCESSORIES' such as games, cables, controllers, memory..etc. Its also easy to pirate Nintendo games, fact is any system can be modded and pirated.

Did you even understand my post,

1. nOT ALL CONSOLES LOSES MONEY when they are sold its called selling them at a profit.

2.. i did not say that Gamecube games could not be pirated, at the begining due to the fact that Gamecube had its own media while the other consoles had DVD's whoch were easier to pirate.

3.read my post above agian.
3. 😄

When the PS2 came out it sold 30 million copies,when the Xbox came out it sold 13 million copies,I don't think the Gamecube sold anything close to that.I have a Gamecube though.

ps2 sold that much because it was the only thing to have advd which is cheaper than a real one in japan so every body in japan got it..also they stole the online thing and made it better from dreamcast.

Sony will likely win race (of most consoles sold easily) Many people would buy it. Playstaion is more popular among people who are not big gamers like me.

I think x-box 360 will sell better then the x-box but i think The PS3 will own. Both Ps1 and Ps2 have sold over 100 million units each. Sony has a massive fanbase.

If they make a quality product they would win the race easily.

Also it is true millions bought the PS2 because it was A DVD player. I think many will buy the PS3 when the blue ray discs come it because it would play those.

How exactly does Nintendo make more money then PS2 or XBOX?

And no, just by selling their DS doesnt add up enough to match XBOX which is second highest profit next to PS2.

Never said anything about Gmaecube selling more than PS2 or XB,

Let me put it clearer,

XB is selling their console at a loss in other words the sum of the fixed costs and variable cost used to make the XB is more then what XB is selling their console.

AGIAN i shall repeat like the ps2, DS and gamecube and XB360 they are selling thier consoles above the expenditure to make profit.

Oh and the xb now aswell as gamecube a way passed the 13 mlillon number by a few million gamecube areound 19million and xb around 23 or 25 million.

AGAIN NEVER SAID GAMECUBE SOLD MORE THAN PS2 OR XB as they didn't.

I said the Xbox sold over 13 million when they FIRST came out,think and read before you talk.

WTF, i said they have sold more than 13 million NOW, NOW (look it says now not before read it again then post please).

i know when it came out it was 13 million that is why i never said when they cames out it was 19 to 23 million, if you look ever s closely you'll notice that i am refering to now not the past.

i don't know if you, misunderstood my post or are just trying to be a prick but if i was going against what you were saying i would have said nop your wrong, as you said they wre 13 million when they started i wanted to say that NOW things have changed and Ebox has sold more and Gamecube is not a failure as it has close sales. I do not know where that post of yours above mine came from so i take it you misunderstood my post.

LMAO....

Your contradicting yourself, first you say they are selling at a lose (which they are) then you say they dont sell at a loss.

XBOX loses 125 dollers each time somebody bought it.
XBOX 360 loses 126 dollers each time sombody bought it.

WTF is wrong with you, when did i say Gamecube is selling at a loss, you said that consoles always sell at a loss and that they rely on assories,

i was saying that not all consoles sell at a loss apart form psp and xb that i know of i obviously did not know about the xb360 beiong sold at a loss.
