""...And Nintendo GameCube.""

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 )

I have faith in ER-NO ....REALLY

er-no is our insider... he knows his stuff... and it makes sense being into advertisement and all that... continuity my friends.

But the fact it is still available for the GameCube just shows how stupid he was.

Probably becasue the Gamecube version aint worth buying. The GC pad just aint built for it.

Bwahahah!

I am seriously confused.

There is no order as to what the advertisments and logos of the consoles fit onto the standees and posters in the shops. They are all the same size and talking to people in the industry (as I indeed have about this issue) - well they state that mostly its for the balance of the design, GameCube and GBA go together so that explains the reason for the end.

....erm.....erm... cos you just said you were.

I am an idiot because?

I think he's trying to get across that what Germans think of Xbox's, he thinks of er-no.

i.e. He hates Er-no.
