Nintendo's share price is falling faster than a leaf in autumn. Why? The industry is pointing the finger at the poor sales of the Gamecube, citing all the surplus stock sitting on the warehouse shelves.
Nintendo are a big company, of course, but they are pretty worried about the fairly hefty fall in their company's profits by about 37 percent. Even their usual fallback on the handheld market is now being threatened by Sony's new handheld Playstation, currently being readied for release over the next year, and their Pokemon franchise, which is slowing down of late.
The news is that they want to ditch the Cube and try again, but doing this would drastically affect their company image. This was a company founded on trust, when they took back faulty NES consoles without arguement and replaced them with new ones in Japan it made their sales jump through the roof.
Whatever way they decide to stay afloat, it looks bad for the true gamers who were hoping and believing that there could be room for 3 consoles in the market. E3 showed that some companies are cutting back again on their Gamecube titles, despite earlier efforts from Nintendo to gain support from big players like EA Games. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I don't know why I even bother wasting my time talking to people like you, you're the sport of person I would laugh at in the street. I blame me taking part in these kind of convos on my boring job, I'm gonna sue them for forced.....console arguments...or something.
Get a girlfriend or something and stop littering these boards with your constant dribble.

Well, when you are using the rumble pack - you needed to stick batteries in it. Same thing really.

lol it sort of turned from me talking about the wavebird, and i am not sure who changed the argument. but you can see it down there V
Yes, but we're talking about present consoles you idiot.

No, really, it's right. Ninty were the first with a rumble pack (on the N64). But even though it was wired to the console, you still had to put batteries in the handset for the rumble feature.
He is right the rumble pack did need batteries (not the pad but the pack did), its just ashame that the only thing he has gotten right is absolutely irelevent to anything and everything.

"Everyone knows this. Ahh, selective memory. Bad things about Nintendo alert - sshhhh, don't talk about."
