And to think I paid £60 for mine....

Yes 60,000 a week and this must of been solid for what 4 or 5 months at least? I know that's not everyone seeing as Japan is over populated but jesus 60,000 a week is near on impossible.

I still can't quite comprehend how everyone in Japan doesn't have a PS2 by now!

Searching? Why not just walk into a shop?

I got my cube, after months of waiting and searching, finally on ebay. What made my mind up in the end was some videos of resi 4, sweet looking game. Anyhoo i found my cube on ebay for £100 that came with
1 - one wavebird controller, one official one 3rd party
2 - portable screen and battery for the cube and screen
3 - cube with 3 mem cards
4 - 13 games

HEHE and the best thing was he only lived about 5 mins away from where i lived, so i didnt even have to pay P n P.
When i went to collect i asked him why he was selling it and he said his son (of about 14) had recently broken is phone so he was selling his cube to pay for a new one. i was kinda feeling guitly for the poor kid but i found out that he had a PS2 and was more into "those" kind of games now and didnt really play on the cube any more. oh well the sony fanboy lost a great console, but im loving it! i havnt played cs source since ive got it, trying to finish eternal darkness ahhh

roll on march 18th

Maybe it's based on percentage rather than the actual amount of people who buy them.

Seeing as it's got easily more people than both Japan and the UK put together, that's hardly surprising, is it?

Look at the GAmecube sales in Japan. Rougly 8,000 a month. Don't get confused by comparing it to the X-box's 500 or so. Compare it to the PS2's 60,000 a week.

And then you see.

When I was there, I noticed a lot of TV advertising for the GC. Obviously makes the difference.

Really? That comes as a bit of a shock actually.

He he he Successful in Japan? You're having a laugh! Gamecube is an amazing flop in Japan.

The only thing Gamecube is doing well in regards to Japan is that the software is selling well.

America is the country where the most Nintendo Gamecube's are sold.
