"Another reason why Gamecube isn't doing that well in the UK...."

This retarded piece of writing is taken from the Times newspapers, reivew of what's to come in 2003 for gaming.

"Nintendo is still something of an unknown quantity. It will certainly be pushing for more Gamecube sales in 2003, but will adopt a typically low key approach to promotion. Gamecube is aimed at children and Nintendo will not worry about trying to improve its popularity with older gamers. Some industry rumours suggested that if Nintendo's Gamecube failed it would simply make games alone - but that is to underestimate this player. This is Nintendo afetr all the folk who still have the handheld market to themselves and couldn't bank profits fast enough for 2 years as Pokemon ruled the world.

Gamecube titles to look out for include Disneys Sports Football, Super Bust-a-move 3000 and Dragons Lair 3D"

Complete and utter retards, either they're being payed by Sony to say all this bullshi-t or they really know nothing.

I feel like writing in and tearing them apart for being such complete nonces. The list of 'games to look out for' says it all really.

Complete morons.

I think he thought they were gamestation's choices as best games, and didn't realise they were sales.

gamezfreak, I don't understand what you're on about? Gamestation are fanboys because their top games sales list includes lots of PS2 games? I think you will find that EVERY games shop's top ten has majority PS2 games, and many of these are rubbish. If you think about it the reason is simple: there are more PS2s out there than GCs and Xboxs put together, and licences sell to the mass public.

What did you expect? For there to be equal numbers of PS2, GC and Xbox titles in the top 10, and all the games being quality titles? Errrr... and the Dreamcast is alive/.

I read the Times game awards, they were so crap,well some of em', they awarded crap games prizes, they gave Halo 'Game of the year', it's good, but certainly not game of the year.
