""...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 )

Heh!

*Looks confused*

Explain further...

That new FPS Xiii or whatever it's called is apparently coming online for PC, Xbox, PS2 and erm not the GC.

Why? GC beat PS2 online so why the hell isn't xiii online on the GC.

Oh and save the best till last... yardi yar.

Don't they just put it in a random order? And don't they normally say Gameboy Advance last? And don't they normally not say anything at all and just use the logo's?

GameCube is still second. Nobody talks about the rest of Europe. I mean outside the UK.

Germany hate the XBox etc...

David "the" Gibbon off Ceefax seems to think that apart from GC exclusives the console doesn't have any other games. What an idiot. The other day he was reviewing a multi-format game and underneath the title he put PS2. I was expecting him to say something but at the end he just put "available for PS2 and Xbox". I had only been looking the same bloody day at a GameCube review of the game. I think it was NBA Street 2 but don't quote me on that.

By the end of June the Xbox will have sold over 9 million, 6 million alone in the USA.

In just under a year in Europe the Xbox sold over 2 million. PS2 took nearly twice as long to sell that many in Europe.

In Japan, in 2002 327000 Xboxes were sold. 3732000 PS2s and 1034000 Gamecubes.

By the year end, I think that the Xbox will have the second spot by far, if they don't already have it.

What I really dislike is how SR summons up all it's retardedness and advertises multi-format games as only being on the PS2 and Xbox.
