Nintendo have one of the biggest reputations for delays. Nearly every single piece of hardware or hugely anticipated games are delayed!

Its one of the most top ten of the most things that I find annoying!

JAPAN:
The Japanese will now be receiving their Gamecubes on the 14th of September.

USA:
The Americans will be seeing their GC's around mid-december from October.

US (UK, Europe):
And we are still Spring 2002 (doh!)!!

And its because Shigsy's game won't be ready in time for the release date originally!

Perhaps the think like this:

Release the console in spring.
6 months (ish) later is when people eapect a price drop, when will this happen? About autumn, just in time for christmas

Funny that, when you think about it........
