"Gamecube Doomed?"

Hi I'm new to the forum.

Who here thinks that gamecube is going the same way as dreamcast?
AND who thinks that nintendo is going the same way as Sega?

Even I have to agree that, thanks to price cuts, even if they are unofficial, and some scorchin deals, both official like the Metroid and Zelda one, and unofficial, that Nintendo is coming out all guns blazing this year.

I want one........

Buy one. Right now.

I did. I never regretted it.

What way did SEGA go? Left?

Right, the up a bit.

Then I believe they took the wrong right hand turning (I told them to take the SECOND right) there they came face to face with a....

One thing about Nintendo is, THEY MAKE PROFIT FROM THEIR STUFF, AND THEY HAVE THE GBA WHICH SELLS BUCKETLOADS. Wait, that's two things. Hmmm.

GameCube not doomed.

Hi, go down the corridor, over the bottomless pit, past the doorway to hell and through the door which says "furnace"

The manager will be pleased to see you as your nads roast.

Ofcourse, if you wish to plead forgiveness for your topic, you may be given a sparkler.

GameCube is the cheapest at the moment, but that doesn't mean it will "win" the console battle. Price is not everything these days. Many people still want a console that can also play DVD movies, and that means PS2 or XBox. True, many people have a standalone DVD player now, but it's useful to many to have a 2nd DVD player in another room. Other people think along the lines of which console has the most games/support, and that means PS2. So we will have to wait and see if the lower price tag alone of the GC is enough to convince people they don't need dvd or the large games selection on PS2. In the meantime, there are plenty of GC fanatics who will keep the thing going for a while yet - at least long enough to see if more "mainstream" buyers go for it or not.

As long as there are plenty of games to justify me buying mine then i'm not too bothed.

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.
