No not that number 2 
GameCube Sales Update

IGNcube: So tell us, why is everyone at Nintendo so happy?
Perrin Kaplan: Well, number-one we did incredibly well in 2003 on both of our hardware systems. In fact, we basically won 2003 and moved ourselves to the number two spot and Microsoft's Xbox to number three.
IGNcube: And this is in the US or is this worldwide?
Perrin: In the US.
IGNcube: That's excellent news. Congratulations. So let's go over this from the beginning. How were December GameCube sales?
Perrin: Year-on-year we were up 68.5% [in December] based on units sold. We sold about 1.1 million GameCubes in December. We did a little under half a million in December of last year by comparison. For the whole year we were up 35%. Our competitors were both in the negative.
IGNcube: Wow, that's fantastic news.
Perrin: It's really good.
IGNcube: How about GameCube life-to-date sales in the US?
Perrin: We're at 6.8 million GameCubes sold in the US life-to-date and we sold about 3.17 million of those this year.

TAKE that MS!
I personally find this really hard to believe, but then again when hardware is only $99, I'm sure Nintendo is still #3 profit-wise.
