PS2 10,000
XBox 4000
GC 3500

This is a shock considering the GC was #1 last month with 14,000 sold with the price cut and the release of Metroid Prime.  This is before the XBox price cut which is supposed to take place this week.

Uh-oh, the Xbox beat it by a massive 500 units.

Know what that means kids? Yes, we all throw our GameCube's out the window and eat pie.

Ha, PS2 beat both X-Box and GCN put together, oh well, it'd be cool to see that change when WW comes.

Well, Europe's sick and tired of N64 and its PAL format and probably is taking it out on GCN.

Most UKers I know are dedicated and hardcore Sony fanboys.  Maybe it's just the ones that I know, but it seems downright strange to me.
