"The GameCube is now outselling the PS2 in the UK!

With the past week seeing price-slashed consoles and the release of a much awaiting AAA title, Metroid Prime, the GameCube has been flying off the shelves!

For the week ending March 22nd the GameCube has managed to sell 60% more than the previous week. PS2, Xbox and GBA all dropped by about 10-15%.

Nintendo of Europe's PR agent Shelly Friend recently spoke about this issue:
"We've had a great week - GameCube sold around 14,000 units in the UK and on top of that Metroid Prime launched at number one in the all- formats charts. Now we're just looking forward to the launch of GBA SP which we expect to be a great success."

This Friday sees the release of GBA SP in Europe so expect more high sales from Nintendo."

I would have done the same thing, for Xbox Live! alone.

Ah, the Xbox got one extra sale last night because of me...

It would have been a PS2 but I got in there to stop the transaction!

Get this, 4 games and an extra official controller for £230 odd!

What a bargain!

If it doesn't sell now, it never will.
