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. "

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

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 ;)

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

Only, I posted it in FOG (Chat), just so everyone sees.
