"What do you think of the GameCube sitution?"

Some may say that the Gamecube isn't doing tvery well. But in my opinion I think it's doing great. Sure, we did have a bad christmas line up but the gamecube is now in second place in terms of sales. And look at the great line up for this year, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart, Mario party, Mario Golf, F-Zero, PNO3, Mario 128, Pikmin 2, Splinter Cell etc.. So overall I think the gamecube is doing really well, despite Dixons not going to sell gamecube products anyway who has purchased a game from Dixons anyway? Any thoughts will be welcome and if you disagree that's fine.

Thanks for reading

People swore for the last few months the Gamecube was doomed.

Lets look at those last few months... no real releases to talk of... so no adverts... and only talk of price drops to come.

Now we have price drops be it official or not we have them, we have some major releases and I predict a Gamecube bundle deal after the release of Metroid Prime. Oh and Dixons selling their stock so cheaply has increased Gamecube's in Europe dramatically. March will be a turning point for the Cube in europe... this single headline made me bow my head in dissapointment:

"Gamecube goes online... no one notices."

The first of this range of consoles to go online in Britain and it came in at number 20.

GC aint doing bad atall! the only reason PS2 is so succsessful is that it was the best when it came out. the N64 had great games but lacked in areas so when the PS2 came out, a revolution in terms of hardware so the souless sheep flocked, GC was late, very late so comparitive figures show that GC is doin GREAT! and with the line-up we got this year all i can say is that PS2 fans dont know what they're missing!!

Well the PS2 isn't anything special.

Might be, but he's right.

RM18, not a dig at the PS2 is that ?

To be honest, I don't care about how full the release date is, its quality, not quantity. I'd rather have five games coming out this year that I desperately want, and that I know will be top-notch, instead of a release date choc-a-bloc with the same-old, same old.

Yea, Phantasy Star Online and Resident Evil Zero last friday, Monkey Ball 2 this friday and a little game called Metroid Prime on the 21st. March is a mighty fine month for the Cube, and the rest of the year looks pretty sweet too.

Cube's actually doing really well in other areas of Europe, it's outselling XBox by quite a large figure in Germany and France.

*looks at release list*

Yup I'm extremly happy with the release lists.

Before christmas, everyone was saying the xbox was doomed like the dreamcast, now it seems that gamecube is instead. Microsofts saving grace is their vast buckets of filthy cash to throw around., but nintendo aint exactly on the verge of bankrupcy, like sega were when the dc was canned, and the thing is with nintendo, they dont quit - as badly as it was selling, the n64 was still available in some stores up until the Gamecube was released.

also its at least another two years till gc's successor is out.

Come on nintendo, get your act together and promote the gamecube like it deserves.
and everyone out there, if you dont have a cube - go get one.

Given that the Cube is doing well in both Japan and America, the worst case scenario is that I have to start importing games.

Gamecube is fine.
