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.

There's an idea for a GAD attempt - 'Nintendo Idol'..
Perhaps..

I was talking to Untitled. Who is, by trade, an idiotic fanboy and most certainly, a mong. Oh, and Whitestripes happens to be my role model.

right, chill out ("you mong")! like i said, i wasnt sure who was ahead. but im sure of one thing though, this dixons thing wont keep the sales of the cube rising for a good long time. this recent boost in sales is (for the most part) only because of the price drop.

It's about 40-60% you mong. The Dixons/Argos deals brought the 'Cube well ahead of the Xbox. It'll probably stay there now, too.
if rez 0 pumped up the sales a bit, do we recon that metroid will pump up the sales a bit more than a bit? i hope so.
5% is all well and good but i though the general consensus was that xbox was selling better than the cube, in the uk anyway. that means that more than 5% would be needed to bring the cube into second place. or is that right (i hope it isnt)?
and that thing with dixons and currys... it should boost the sales and prob did but what will happen when all the console units are gone? the sales will no doubt drop. and its not good that nintendo has two major retailers less to sell their console.
amos.

Some good sales news at last..
IMO, people don't want a games console to get technical. You have a games console because it's simple to use, as opposed to a PC.
By attaching technical requirements for broadband to the ad campaign I figure it'd have put quite a few people off. Plus broadband uptake isn't that great anyway.
Add to that the low cube prices and prospective buyers have pleanty of reason to choose Nintendo.
