44mill games sonic ay? thats pretty impressive.. What did the gamcube had to other anywayz is was way too inferior to xbox and ps2. Only selling point was its sequels to games. and I got a question for you.. Why is the ds so popular in Japan and xbox 360 so unpopular... is it a Made in the Usa Vs Made in Japn thing?  |
