I understand your point there Shadow Link. But if you don't care about including Europe then I shouldn't care about including Japan. Basically your argument is about including Japan. That statement basically destroys your argument.
I understand that Europe would only affect the outcome by a little, but it still is a place just as Japan is.
My source for the Xbox outselling the GameCube worldwide is the end of the year 2001 press releases by both companies. At that time the Xbox was ahead by a few hundred thousand units. I have searched around my press releases websites for updated officially confirmed sales charts by both companies and I was unable to find them.
If the GameCube is currently outselling the Xbox to date I would not be surprised. For I was only talking about the end of the year 2001.
My intention when creating this topic was not to mislead people, but it was to just simply show the sales charts for February and that the Xbox had outsold the GameCube. I had no intention of misleading people and creating this much uproar. It was just supposed to be a simple topic displaying sales charts.
Also I am sorry, the numbers were only for North America. I had believed that it would be world wide for obvious reasons. When the article was handed down to me there was no indication that it was only North America, so logically I assumed it was worldwide. But I have later found out it was only North America.
So in closing all I ask of people is to just take the thread for what it is and not blow it out of proportion like it is so many times.
