The odds are against them in North America, too.

Ironic then that not only does Xbox have a nice lead over Cube in the States, but that it's actually increased since Nintendo's big games have been released
I never did put much stock in what Yamauchi said. In fact, I partly blame his terrible attitude for Nintendo's n64 fiasco (in regards to Nintendo's dealings with third-parties during that period).
Yea, but Nintendo didnt have to drop its price twice already, then start throwing in 2 free games to do so.

Isn't 3 games ? Halo, Sega GT and JSRF and also DVD kit with Xbox for like $220 ?
when your doing that, the number of units bought loses all bragging rights.
