As Nintendo sit back and dont seem to be doing very well. Behind the scenes they are smoking the profit margins and laughing towards Microsoft and Sony. Why? Because Nintendo are making money. 2003 will probably be the biggest profit margin year back-to-back for Nintendo ever. In Japan, 7 out of the 10 games in the top ten selling are Nintendo games. Pokemon is selling so well over there I think the kids are buying two.
Why is this year going to be the year of the Cube?
Simple. They have the balls to lie down and wait, they don't need price cuts and they are still selling consoles.
People are crying the Gamecube is the new Dreamcast. Well, no its not. Sega weren't making money, they were taking hits per console sold. Nintendo are the ones making money per console sold. With the GBA selling so very well EVERYWHERE, its only time before the GBA owners start buying the GC to go with and link up. Nintendo have many Japanese companies behind them. They have still got the second largest userbase. If you include the GBA its the largest userbase in the world.
Gamecube isn't doing very well? Neither is the XBox. Compared the the PS2 they are both failing.
Yet again. Nintendo are the ones who probably know this best of all, they are being the 2nd console, the gaming console, and not the console which has the high figures because of so many returns. At work we get at least 3 every sunday.
I would just like to congratulate Nintendo. As I already have done Andy Williams. As I can honestly say they are the sneakest and best company in this industry, and man I am looking forward to the Cube exclusives this year.

Thats because as your tagline points out. You like the PS2.
Dude, we have seen the best of that console. Infact I would go as to say its dead now. What other games for it are coming out?
Oh oh.. GTA : Texas.
Or something equally gay.

i dont like nintendos.

I think the only thing they have done wrong is not release AC here, but if it's true that AC2 (online) is near completion and they will release that here, it doesn't really matter too much :-)

I'm rather glad *someone* see's behind the evil face that is sales statistics. Some people seem to believe GC is Nintendo, and vice versa. But with GBA (and indeed, the whole Game Boy series) having the largest userbase in the world, it's power is somewhat underestimated.
With so much greatness coming from, well, 'The Big N', and the fact (as er-no so vividly pointed out) that Nintendo are actually making money on every console sold (not wanting to sound fanboy-ish, but this is unlike Xbox) this is indeed year of Nintendo.

It's oh so true.
