May 3rd is launch date if you didn't know, being a former Ninty I can only laugh, launching so long after PS2 and Xbox they don't stand a chance, the demo's I have seem are OK but none make you want to go out and buy one right this minute (even if you could).
I think Nintendo are in their own dream world thinking anything with a Ninty badge on will sell by the bucket load.
By May we will have MGS2 and hopefully FF10 (if ever there was an incentive for Sony to get this out ASAP this must be it), as well as many other great games.
Gamecube RIP already ?
The PS2 & Xbox go from strength to strength without even doing anything.
Well Done Nintendo.

ginger, your views are getting more and more annoying...
You haven't even explored the issue to any depth. Yes, the GC is releasing late, but need this be a bad thing? The PS2 is getting dated in some peoples' minds anyway.
On top of this, the GC is NOT aimed at the Ps2 audience. It is aimed at hardcore gamers, children, and family gamers- something that has accounted for the sell-out US sales.
On top of that, the price is certainly right- people don't have a problem buying a £150 "toy" for their kids, and intelligent gamers will seriously consider getting a second console. (Although most hardcore gamers will be getting the GC anyway due to the firstparty Nintendo games).
It seems to me that your somehow afraid that the GC might actually pose a challenege to the PS2 (which it won't for the reasons above), and that you're trying to convince yourself of it.

Gamecube is cheap as it has about half of the things that xbox and ps2 have in regards of dvd. The dvd aspects of ps2 and xbox have added a lot to the cost and hardware, Nintendo will still do ok though as there popular with the kids and wil have a nice cheap console
surely they won't make much profit from it......surely...
But with such a low price something has got to be wrong with it
