Fact is that it should come out in April 2002 and I must admit that nintendo poorly informed us of the release date .

Well i'm sure there's been a few rushed-out-cash-in game releases during the years that are only worth .4 of a game.

actually, by xmas, US sales were:

Xbox: 1.5million (hitting the target EXACTLY), with 2.4 games sold per console

GC: 1.3million (hitting the target exactly), with a poor 1.9 games per console

The most important question is how much will it set us back? I dunno whether to buy a new graphics card, or keep saving untill the 'Cube comes out... Darn you Nintendo! ;)

It's supposedly a few weeks after the 5th of Feb.

Although the first week of US Gamecube sales was better than the first week of Xbox sales (making the Gamecube faster selling), by December, there had been over a million Xbox's sold and only 700,000 Gamecubes.

I think Nintendo want to get it out early over here to win gamers over before the Xbox arrives.

Maybe all the stores will sneak them in overnight soon, without announcing a release date. And it'll be upto the shoppers to find it. Wouldn't it be strange if you just walked into a shop this weekend, and saw GameCube's on the shelves!! But i'm sure SR would let us know if this was to happen, even if EB and co. didn't!
