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.

Whats wrong with the game?

Still, 5.6 million is a lot of Cubes, and I'm happy with it.

That is a worldwide figure and a worldwide goal.

Zelda was the most pre-ordered game but in Japan it dropped like a stone.

This'll be a first business year in Japan though, and wasn't that aim worldwide?

Or am I smoking something I shouldn't be?
