America's top-selling home video game console is.. the Gamecube. Sold more than half a million systems to consumers during Thanksgiving week, easily surpassing its console competitors. And the GBA sold even more, over 600,000. Nintendo must be counting their profits this week.

Go-sen's US counterpart said: "We're overwhelmed by how successful we've been. We're tracking to sell more systems in the last eight weeks of the year than we did in the previous 10 months combined."

Optimistic news for Nintendo is never a bad thing. However it unfortunately just goes to show how utterly crap the Gamecube has been doing in the last 10 months.

What are the chances, eh? :D

Oh well. I probably started earlier - I edited all the text and didn't just link from C-E :p I hate those in-text ads too. :)

That's not good news, I will get none of the money regardless of my support for Nintendo all these years.

Isn't Nintendo a private limited company?

Could well be.. dunno though. Didn't do well on Business Studies GCSE.. :)

Anyway, as if you need re-paying. The knowledge that the company you worship and follow daily is doing very well (albeit for one week only probably) should be reward enough.

Although money would be nice.
