Well, the winner of this holiday season, at least according to this MSNBC.com article, is PS2. In a close second is X-Box, and a distant third Gamecube. I am actually surpirsed PS2 outsold X-Box. With the year head start and this good holiday season, I don't see how anyone can catch up with Sony. But still, X-Box did pretty good.

I'm not surprised at all. PS2 was established as a name, not to mention it has a bigger selection of games to choose from (and two of those games, MGS2 as well as GTA3 were released just in time for Christmas, and are NOT available on the X-Box yet). I got an X-Box and I'll say it, I like it - the games look damn good, Dolby 5.1 sound is phenomenal, and Halo is a great game - lots of fun. However, there needs to be many more good games coming down the pipe for X-Box to make an impact - otherwise, I don't see it toppling PS2 or the to-be-released (rumored) PS3 come Q3 2002/Q1 2003.

EDIT :Yes, I replyed to this without reading the linkified article, but something I alluded to above was made crystal clear in the article :

Yeah Sony had so many amazing games come out just this quarter. FFX, MGS2, GTA3, Jak and Dexter, Silent Hill 2, Ico. Compare that to Halo being the only game I'd want to play on X-Box and Rogue Leader, and SSB Melee and Gamecube.

As for PS3 it won't be out for a while. Sony isn't that dumb to alienate all the new PS2 owners.

i was under the impression that gamecube sold better than the xbox did. the reason why is that on gamefaqs.com, they have a new voting poll every day, and if you look at the ones that deal with which systems people were getting, the xbox didnt really get any votes

I didn't expect this but I like PS2 best and I guess most people did too. I expected X-Box to win and GameCube a close second, PS2 would be considered "Old" by now but I guess it's not.
