The two stores I've visited give equal space to all three. But had n64 games on the shelf well beyond any chain shop.

Xbox/Ps2 share the same

See above.

Mine has a top 20 for all three.

True but the choice they made is significant.

Which would be why all Woolies stores long since dropped down the amount of space given to the console eh ? Xbox/Ps2 share the same amount of space, but Gamecube doesn't. My local store has a top 10 GC, and top 30 for the other two. Whsmith barely sells anything.

Urgh.

You just reminded me of the dopey nob in WHsmith who tried to explain to me that Xbox games would'nt be sold in there because they had an "agreement" with Sony.

Bargain!

HMV is excellent at times - Although the fall in Gamecube stock is rather worrying.

Rise of Nations was only £32.99 in there aswell.

I didn't notice any on Boradmarsh HMV, did pick up Warcraft 3 on PC - The Collectors edition in the massive box with tons of extra's all for 19.99 though.. :) Glad I didn't pay £50 for one on eBay now !

One thing nintendo have utterly failed to grasp is an understanding of regional consumer impatience. Therefore, their policy of tackling importers, rather than working to improve lag times between the release of a given title in different areas, is fated to having a negative effect on their overall revenue, and enforcing Sony's place as leader of the console market.
