They've been around since the 19th Century and are selling more 'kiddie' GBAs than Playstation 2s and Xboxs put together. I think I'd call that successful.

Look at the top 50 game sales for America in March, these are the Nintendo and Xbox sales:




1. GCN ZELDA:WIND WAKER 826,352
2. GBA POKEMON RUBY 652,595
3. GBA POKEMON SAPPHIRE 585,098

11. GBA DRIVER 2 ADVANCE 95,878

15. GBA YU-GI-OH! DUNGEON 85,457

18. GBA ZELDA: LINK TO PAST 79,719

26. GBA SONIC ADVANCE 2 70,170

29. GCN MARIO PARTY 4 61,400
30. GCN SUPER SMASH BRO 60,514

32. XBX HALO 57,756

35. XBX T.CLANCYS GH RECON 56,818

39. GBA NAMCO MUSEUM 54,425

41. GCN METROID PRIME 53,815

45. GBA GODZILLA: DOM 49,765

51. GBA FROGGER'S ADV: TEMPLE44,961
52. GBA SUPER MARIO ADVANCE2 43,512

Everything else inbetween is a PS2 game.


Microsoft only have two games in the top 50, and the biggest selling is still Halo, which apart from being a testament to how good it is, also shows a worrying lack of other, newer, decent games for the Xbox.

Only four of those Nintendo games are for Gamecube, but three of them are higher than Halo, and one dominates the top spot (Zelda had been out only 10 days).

And with Pokemon in 2nd and 3rd, selling over a million combined, Nintendo are making huge profits.



Tell me again that Nintendo aren't successful.

Not a problem in any way or form for me as I now own all 3 next gen consoles. Which is nice.

Bring on Zelda!

*customer point of view*

Put simply, the GameCube is third behind the PS2 and the Xbox in the console market. Traditionally, only the top two competitors survive. Do I think Nintendo will go down? No way. Do I think the GameCube has been a success.....

I wondered about a PS2 but it's too expensive , what's made me interested in Gamecube again (apart from the two obvious games) is the price tag and deals around for it.

I don't see any reason to buy a PS2 for £169.99 when I have an Xbox as the games are pretty much similar, and the GTA series doesn't interest me.
