I didn't know this.
I am surprised, despite the fact I'm a GCN owner. I thought more people were "dazzled" by the X-box. Oh well. Oh, and on another note about the GCN, how come Sega decided to only release Eternal Arcadia on the GCN? Not that I'm complaining, cause I can get it, I just wonder why they chose to focus on Nintendo instead of releasing on all the consoles as originally planned. Oh well. (this was reported on the main page of the cafe, for reference)
Why'd you make the article link into a spoiler?
It was an accident, I fixed it when I edited the post. Oh, and I'll sing something special for everyone so this isn't a wasted post.... "Clean is better than dirty, and dirty's meaner than clean."

To tell you the truth, I'm not surprised that the GameCube is beating the XBox at all.
It'll get really tough come this fall though, but the GameCube has the "All-Stars" coming out in the coming months.
I just knew a lot of people when the X-box came out that questioned me because I was getting the Gamecube (I've always chose Nintendo first and gotten other consoles second), of course, I'm 21 (20 at the time) and most of them were younger than me and immature gamers, but still, I though the immature gamers were gonna dominate. I expected Nintendo Gamecube to start beating X-box around this month when Mario sunshine comes out, and I guess it'll only be better with the release of all the great games (Metroid, Zelda, RE0, etc.). X-box has some good titles on the way (one of which I'm very interested in as an old school gamer, and that's the new Ninja Gaiden). PS2 has been out longer and is still on top. As long as GCN still thrives, I don't care who is winning, but it's interesting to see which console is doing best.

Those sales references are worlwide, so I'm not impressed. If I recall correctly, GCN sells better than XBox in Japan and Europe. In fact, XBox's future in both is far from promising.
However, in the US, XBox sells significantly better than GCN, about 20% more or so, I think. The overall selling is up to GCN, and I don't think that would change, but I may be wrong.
