I've read over at Gamesindustry.biz that console sales in the holiday period were down in comparison with the same period last year so it seems consoles aren't selling as well anymore and time for change is at hand.
Qua platforms, PS2 is still the number one in sales although being older and less "tech" than Gamecube and XBox.
In fact, the only console selling more than last year was Gamecube but that was to be expected as the price has dropped drastically.
I also believe this isn't doing any good to Microsoft as they had some very attractive package deals with their XBox but still can't seem to sell more than normal...

I don't get it, XBOX is a damn great console!! It's the best I ever had, apart from my NES, but that's mainly because of fond memories I suppose :).

the problem with XBox is the lack of killer titles. Fable has been postponed again and only Project Gotham Racing 2 was a big title in the Christmas sales period with about every other major XBox game being delayed until this year.

Sad, really sad. Games like NFS:U and Rainbow Six 3 are like WOW on XBOX!!!
I am eagerly awaiting Xbox 2!!!!!
