"NOA sales figures: good news for once"

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.

Can anyone help me on this. I am stuck at work and bored out of my mind. I need to find out the answers to the following:

Where is the Gamecube made? Japan somewhere I guess?
Where it is shipped to in the US? Is it Redmond/North End?
Where can I find this sort of stuff out from?

Help a guy get back home!

Cheers guys.

Go-Sen.

NGC make me laugh.

Lol :P

Nintendo are on the stock exchange.

Heh, yep, and it'd be gone before anyone had a chance to get it like usual.

They’d do one 5 euro note for the whole of Europe, and it’d cost 10000 stars.

lol, Ninty give away money in the Stars Catalogue. Nice idea.

Or alternatively they could give away those things that makes hell freeze over ;)

Money WOULD be nice

Perhaps nintendo can give it away in the stars catalouge *Hint Hint*

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.

Isn't Nintendo a private limited company?
