Well, well, well. (3 holes in the ground... :D)
It's out in Japan, and what seemed like years 'til the European launch is nearing. The reaction from Japan is quite good with quite a few people queueing up. Of course the real test will be at christmas, when all 3 powerhouses go at it. But for now lets look at the Japanese launch.
That's right...
Keep looking...
There it is...
Ha!
I wonder if the latest announcement from Capcom will sell any systems. Maybe to the Biohazard fanatics, but in general, I think it might signal to quite a few people that Nintendo are moving on from the 'kiddie' stage but taking the best bits from that era with them.
Anyone buying a Nintendo console should expect a Mario or Zelda game. The fact that so many good games are in production is a VERY big bonus for future 'Cubers.
I can't wait for EG3: Gamecube. Anyhoo...
Toys R Us said that about 80% of their stores have exhausted their first batch of Gamecubes through pre-oders and first day buyers alone!
I'm telling you, I'm not going to mail order mine from SR, I'm going down to the biggest SR store down south and ploughing through the competition, knocking Ali over at the door and getting my Gamecube! But there are so many good games... damn Nintendo!
Anyhow, we're straying from the subject: The Japanese Launch. I don't suppose we can make any major assesments until we receive the unit sales figures; but I think with a console like the Gamecube, with the support and future it has in store, and the overall greatnessness of Nintendo, it'll sell like tupenny (sp?) hot cakes in the school cantine!!
Go Nintendo Go -Ninten-Go! << Get it... :P
Anyway, This is a Prime topic thingy so I better not fun it up to much!
Thoughts? Sales Figures? Interesting Statements or Bits of Info?

Ok, Toys R Us said they sold 80% of 'Cube stock through pre-orders and people buying on the day.
Nice.
Excpet we don't know how many thay had. It could have just been 100 consoles. Meaning they sold 80. That's why I don't like percentages.
However, if they had 100,000 consoles, then selling 80,000 first off is pretty good.
I guess we'll just have to wait until actual figures are produced.
Also, I heard a rumour that the Jap launch of the XBox MAY be put off 'til after christmas, in which case Nintendo will be laughing all the way to the bank...
