This is an issue close to my heart and I know its said many times but i'm saying it again.
I went into my local GAME yesterday and to my amazement the Gamecube shelf space has shrunk even smaller. It really was a pitiful sight and quite embarrassing for a die hard Nintendo fan.
The shelf space is now just one block. There were the usual top five slots which were virtually empty and then the 'selection' of naff games underneath. Now yes I suppose you could look at it 2 ways, either they've all sold out (which is laughably unlikely) or that GAME just can't be ars*d with the Gamecube anymore (which I KNOW is whats happening).
Woollies now have hardly any Gamecube stuff. Dixons, Currys, Comet and all those electrical retailers stopped selling it months ago and it looks like even GAME are now on the 'dump Cube' runaway train.
3 years into the life of the N64 was better than this and that was considered a commercial flop.

GAME are nobs (although who gives a rat's ass about shrink-wrapping anyway? It just gets ripped off). My local GAME shops all have one block of Cube games and have done so for a while. Compare that to three or four floor-ceiling shelving units for Xbox, PS2 and PC games.
How is the Cube supposed to sell if it isn't given the chance? Nintendo need to pay more for the space in retailers.

What were you doing in GAME anyway? They appear to be the most expensive source to buy from and you don't get the game in its original shrink-wrapping because they keep all of the discs and manuals in a drawer, tied together with elastic bands.
Yea and they have a LOAD of SH*T PS2 games on the shelves..
