Videogame companies like Nintendo, Sony & especially RARE are very secretive. Who knows what is being worked on in their R & D departments? Playstation3 could be finished for all we know.
My point is that information only creeps out when the company involved wants it to.
We all thought Zelda Gamecube was going to be realistic looking adventure, but Nintendo fooled everyone with it's new look (who knows, they might have even changed that look now?) The screenshots & video weren't leaked at all, they were a massive surprise, unveiled by Nintendo when they wanted it shown.
Which leads me to the Gamecube....
As we all know, Nintendo was to announce the European launch details for Gamecube in Cannes on Feb 5th.
So why would they now have an underwhelming launch announcement on Jan 28th??
Then this web broadcast is 'leaked' before the 28th!
Would Nintendo's big surprise slip out?
Maybe that video is to throw people (& competitors) off the scent, and the proper date will be announced, as planned, in Cannes, in a lavish ceremony.
May 3rd is a bit far away, and i , like many others, was hoping it would be March or April.

I may be wrong, May 3rd might be the right date, or maybe the big N has another suprise up it's sleeve.....here's hoping.

EA have said that they are releasing 2 of their GC games (being NBA Street and SSX Tricky) on the 5th of April. This is quite strangew because it is not normal to bring out games nearly a month before the console release.
