GameCube sales again rose in week-on-week comparisons, this time by a further 5%, no doubt buoyed by the release of the hotly anticipated Super Monkey Ball 2 and the continued success of Capcom’s Resident Evil 0.

Xbox slipped another 5%, a fact that has surprised many given the much-heralded launch of Xbox Live last week, and the media attention it gained.

The GC are only selling more because they have a good price, for £89.99 i would prob buy one...
But if they were the same price as the xbox, then xbox will definatley sell more...

Nah, I doubt it. People would most likely go for the console with the better games and the bigger franchises. Of course, they may be drawn in by Microsoft's propaganda nonsense..

If they were both giving away 2 free games at the same price, I doubt it.

What Dixons deals are they huh? Dixons are not even going to be selling GC products anymore and you know it, they haven't even got metroid Prime in store!
If they stop selling I will only have in my town a WHSmiths and Woolworths to buy GC games from, and they aren't even two storey stores.

Touched a nerve, did I? GameCube + Game = £99.99 at Dixons. It's GameCube + Game + Memory Card = £78.99 at Argos.
