Nintendo have failed to reach their target of 10 million by the end of their first business year. The Gamecube that was supposed to shift 10 million consoles was dramatically underachieved with a mere 5.6 million consoles shipped.
Worries are growing on the stock market as Nintendo aren't reaching targets but a very busy software filled year is hopefully going to bring Nintendo back on track. The under achievement can be pin pointed on the dissapointing sales of Mario Sunshine worldwide and Zelda in Japan.
Despite the negative viewpoint the Gameboy Advance dramatically smashed it's target with the new rise of the Pokemon franchise and the success of the GBA SP.

Just found this:
"Nintendo has claimed some hefty sales numbers thanks to recent game releases in the States.
After the US launch of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for Gamecube, Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Version for Gameboy Advance, and the new Gameboy Advance SP, each of these little gems has topped their respective charts within a week of being on sale.
The new Zelda game set a Nintendo record with more than 600,000 copies pre-sold to consumers before its March 24 launch date, with around 1.1 million copies sold in total, helping bump Gamecube sales up 20 per cent. Pokemon also did well, as after selling over 4.4 million in Japan, with more than 2.2 million units shipped in the US. And the controversial, yet oh-so-cute Game Boy Advance SP has managed 800,000 machines through North America."
Not bad for a "failing" console.

Meh. These stock market people. Wouldn't know a good game if it bit em on the buttocks. At the end of the day I have a Cube with some great games, and more great games to come. I'm happy.
They tell you that, but really they can't wait to get hold of the next Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot games...
Yes, but none of the "cool", PS2-owning gamers like the "kiddy" things, like Pokémon...
Does anyone else not see the pattern.
IF NINTENDO GIVE NEWS OF POKEMON ON THE GAMECUBE AND RELEASE IT.
IT MAY JUST MAKE THE GAMECUBE IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY.
Stupid company.

I like the way people try to make the figures actually matter to others...
Figures figures figures whatever.
Its a great little machine, why do people have to fault it all the darned time!?

I think maybe 10 million was overambitious in the first place.
