I just found this out today (though the info has probably been around for a while):

X-box european release date - march 15.

Surely now nintendo will have to release at around the same time for a decent shot at the market? And presumably again try to get a short advantage with a slightly earlier release?
If nintendo care about the european market at all, i think they'll be forced to release either:

march 15 - friday = same as x-box;

(or trying to get an upper hand)

march 8 - friday
march 9 - sat
march 11 - mon

my money is on a march 8th release, provided x-box keep to the 15th.

So far the 'Cube's release is still Spring, rumours have been going around that it'll be released in June and even September though!

severely doubt September, but June maybe... hope not though. If Xbox isn't delayed and cube is it could be fatal. Hopefully the rumours are ONLY rumours though. UK needs the Cube and fast.

I need a Gamecube fast, not you lot! :D

Anywho, if Nintendo do decide to release the GCs over here in June or (Shudder at the thought) September, then...then...I-I'll c-cry...

If they have the intensions to release their almighty 'Cube BEFORE Microsoft's block, then I will expect March, or predict March 8th.

Please, I need this thoery to be true...I really do...

SHOCKY
