If the trend of not stocking Cube and its games continue, it could have a bad effect on future Nintendo hardware - the Revolution being one example. Many stores may simply carry on the existing trend, which means they wont stock the Revolution.

The Gamecube isn't doomed.

It's just not selling as well over here compared to the other two. Which is a shame.

Blatantly where?
Certainly not in GAME, Woolworths, Comet, Dixons, Currys!

Its not Nintendo that are doomed anyway, its the Gamecube!

I am rather fed up of people saying that Nintendo is doomed when it blatantly is not.

Which seems all the forum is doing at the moment.

Hey I'm not stressed out but at a loss that, for the 80th time since joining these chat rooms, I'm having the same bleeding argument.

It would be nice if Nintendo were winning. But they're not. It seems Nintendo have a plan with new, impressive, revolutionary devices. It could very well be a good fight back. Or fall on its ar$e ready for the Big N to try again.

So lets just sit and wait. Rather than cry over games that I for one have never had any problem getting.

I don't know what you're talking about. Of course sales are an issue. They're an issue to consumers, to shops stocking games. No one's saying Nintendo aren't making a loss, they're just saying it would of course be better for all involved if Nintendo were not conceived as in third place over here. Now calm down.

For gods sake chill man!! If we all just accepted what you said in every post it would get rather one sided and boring wouldn't it? I thought that was what 'chat' was all about! Jeeesh, talk about stress head!

If Nintendo are making a loss then it might be and issue. But they're not. So it isn't!!!

We, as gamers, need more than just Nintendo games, we need a nice selection of third party games. Because that way we have a good overall selection.

I do not care about Gamecube sales, unless Nintendo report a loss. Then I might get worried.

Sorry I forgot! We should also remember though (and this is besides the fact I said I agreed with you earlier) that the lack of third party support was one of the downfalls of the N64!
