Cube available in UK now for as little as £40... Games reduced to just over a fiver
In what could mark the beginning of the end for Gamecube in the UK, major retailers such as Argos have started to sell the machine for as little as £39.99.

Accessories and software are also being reduced across the board. Index, for instance, have been flogging Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for £9.99, Mario Sunshine for £6.99 and WrestleMania X8 for a mere £5.99, while Woolworths have been selling a selection of titles from the Players Choice range for £6.99.
With both PlayStation 2 and Xbox having had a hugely successful Christmas, thanks to the recent releases of AAA titles like GTA San Andreas and Halo 2, Nintendo half-heartedly countered with a Cube bundle that featured the year-old Mario Kart: for the week-ending 11 December, just over 7000 Gamecubes were sold in the UK, compared to 37,500 for Xbox and 60,500 for PS2.
Luckily, new handheld the DS is at least doing well at present - Nintendo expected to have sold almost three million of the twin-screen devices in the US and Japan by the end of 2004.

I vote the latter.
I think he's stupid....well actually, I know that.
He's clearly posted his order the wrong way around...either that or he's more retarded than I ever imagined.

You suck, completely and utterly suck. I mean you start this topic to obviously parade the fact the Ninty are going downhill which they aren't and then because people who have posted disagree you go into a I love the Gamecube phase. Unless your so retarded that you dont know what we're going on about and your just changing to order round to be "hip" as my nan would say.
