I'll agree with the XBox thing; it hasn't sold that well. But I still stand true that most of anyone that's going to buy a PS2 has already bought one. That explains why the sales are being beaten by the Gamecube's insane price drop. I'd hit it up if I didn't already have one!
And the GC for kiddies argument is crap. Give me a break; check out Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 1/0 and ETERNAL DARKNESS. These games aren't for kids, and neither is the system. Shigeru Miyamoto just has a knack for making cutsie characters in some of the games he designs, but you know what, he can...because Miyamoto does whatever the hell he wants to.
