Ever noticed how whenever you see a new advert for a newly-released video-game, and it's multi-format, the GameCube is always mentioned last?
"Available now on PlayStation 2, X-Box, PC... and.., er.... Nintendo Game.... uh... Cube!"
I always thought it was bad-enough with the average gamer and their neglection for the GameCube and Nintendo, but this only appears to make things worse!
Imagine little "I-own-all-3-consoles" Timmy, sat at home watching TV one-day, when the an advert for the latest Harry Potter game comes out, and he can't decide for which of the 'Big 3' consoles to get it on...
First thing he hears - PlayStation 2 - "the gamer's choice!"
And before the narrator's even got the the final 'X' in "X-Box", he's in the kitchen whining to his mum about how he "must have this game on PS2 NOW!!!"... GameCube doesn't even get a look-in.
Okay, so maybe that's going a bit too-far, but it's crystal clear to the world that Nintendo's GameCube is getting left-behind in last-place, no matter where you look.
Will we ever hear "Nintendo GameCube" at the front of that list??
("I don't think so, Tim!")
Surely Nintendo-Europe themselves could do something about this??
And while it may not instantly - or even at-all - help sales of the 'Cube and its latest releases, it would show at least SOME people that Nintendo ain't the "pushovers" they appear to be!
And to make things worse, they seem to just 'ALLOW' Microsoft's Robbie Bach to continue spewing-out all that "RUBBISH" about how their X-Box "is" in second-place behind the PS2, when clearly, the sales-figures show it's the GameCube... Why don't Nintendo fight-back?
(It's not like anyone could be short on come-backs and insults for Microsoft, Bill Gates and their X-Box!! ;D )

The Dreamcast has one of the highest rates of top console exclusives I have ever seen. A lot of them were taken from Arcades but none the less the console as a whole contains one of the most comprehensive games packages out of any console I have owned.
What difference does it make? As long as it gets great games then it's good by me. Even if it goes the way of the DC, it'll be regarded in even higher regard.
In worldwide sales, Cube is still in front with just over 10 million and something.
I don't know what the figures are like now, but despite all the succesful price-cuts and bundles that were going on a few months ago, Microsoft still seemed to think they were firmly in second-place - even though they clearly weren't!
And with the steady releases of the likes of The Wind Waker and Skies of Arcadia Legends after that, and no signs of the X-Box selling 'well' anytime soon, I can only PRESUME Nintendo still have their noses infront.

Hasn't the Xbox sold 5.4 million and GameCube 4.6 million? Thats what I read on IGN yesterday.
