Tendo Box interviewed Nintendo of Europe. Here:
Tendo Box:
Nintendo has yet to announce a European launch date for GameCube. Right now, there are lots of rumors that your new console will not be launched before June or even September over here. When and in what way will you announce the European launch date for GameCube?
Nintendo of Europe:
We are aware of rumors that say GameCube will not be introduced until September 2002. But rest assured, these rumors are not true. Until now, weíve only announced that our new console will be introduced in the Spring of 2002. Because of these rumors, Nintendo is under some pressure, but you have to realize that we have never said anything else than Spring 2002, and if everyone keeps their eyes on that particular time, than there will be no misunderstandings. We will announce the new date after the North American launch of Nintendo GameCube.
Tendo Box:
So, there is a date which Nintendo of Europe is looking at right now?
NOE:
I cannot tell you, the only thing I can is that our only indication thus far is Spring 2002. We have to see how well the system does in America, and when we know that, weíll give you a date very soon.

I know it is all hear say and rumours but it is looking worrying.
Panasonic DVD doesnt effect me i never intended to get but it effects others and as for the RAGE announcement they were talking about the launch date not when they publish i quoted a bit wrong.

That's Panasonic's decision, why does it matter anyway? Go buy a propper DVD player and a propper GameCube. Have you seen the size of the Panasonic Gamecube? Takes any attractivness away from it.

Yeah, so? There's still no official announcement - maybe the rummors about September are just as rubbish.

Again, so? Means absolutely nothing - who says they are planning on releasing launch games? They may be trying to avoid the crowed launch period and slip games in later when they'll get more exposure away from Nintendo's lime-light steal titles.
