Accually there hasn't been a buyback program in the Console industry before. I don't know about Microsoft, but if they did it would be a first. That is why the Console manufatures quote the consoles shipped as sold because to them they are sold. I don't know why this is new information I have been saying that since before November of '00.

That is why when you got to a Toys R Us or a Wal-Mart you still see old consoles well after they have "expired". I know because I bought my Sega CD for a Toys R Us after Sega announced they will be ceaseing production of the Saturn.

Also I do have credenial to be a video game store I just don't have the money.

Nintendo's piggy back and AAA games say the GCN is not a failure. The mainstream TV, newspaper, and magazine Media that doesn't know diddly squat about gaming, and mainstream PS2 fans say GCN is a failure.

And the fact that Nintendo see a lot more money come in from their console than Sony does.

This problem is so simple! It's not because the GameCube is a failure (which it's not) it's because a bunch of people said it was and other people are believing them.

I think we should all remember that if N had made the XBox they'd already gone out of business...

I think it depends where you live. I live in west Mexico, and here the Xbox is the great failure. It selds almost nothing, and almost all its piracy (hw and sw).
