Even though all of us here at IGN try to tell you, the readers, not to take videogame console success so personally, we can't help but relay this bit of information from investment-banking firm Credit Suisse First Boston regarding early GameCube and Xbox sales figures. According to CSFB's interpretation of NPD TRST data, as of November 24, 2001, Nintendo had sold 469,000 GameCube consoles compared to 556,000 for Microsoft's Xbox. The Xbox had a three day head start on the GC with its November 15 launch date.
