YES!! Thats correct, last week Gamecube sold more than the PS2 did! Due to Metroid Prime and the price slashing going on, presumbably...

Cube Europe:
"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. "

Ah, you beat me to this by a matter of minutes.

Surely that’s just to do with the great deals Argos and Dixons group are offering.

I know for one that I couldn’t resist a bargain like that ;)

If I new little about Nintendo except Mario, £80 for a GC is more tempting than some obscure shoot em'up with odd controls.

Its the best news I've heard all week. That'll wipe the smiles off there PS2 loving faces! All it needs now is for NOE to drop the price of the Cube Europe-wide, then it'll (hopefully) be at the top in EVERY country. I cant wait to see the look on those smug b------s faces!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Oh!! and roll on May the 3rd that'll be even better. Its just gonna get better and better and better and better.............
