THQ Says Xbox Gaining Traction
And that GameCube is struggling.
December 12, 2002 - Earlier today in a Dow Jones release, THQ's president and CEO Brian Farrell said that he thinks that Microsoft is "gaining traction" with sales of its Xbox console. He also noted that Nintendo's next-generation hardware seems to be in a popularity slump.
"I think we'll hear better Xbox hardware sales, while GameCube is still struggling," Farrell said.
Farrell's comments are the latest in a stream of complaints from publishers dissatisfied with GameCube's current selling rate in the market.
Nintendo of America is betting on a strong showing of its big holiday title Metroid Prime, a first-person action-adventure set in a sci-fi backdrop, coupled with its new Platinum GameCube, to drive sales of hardware and software through the fourth quarter.

yeah..I was going to get a GC but with the price drop and great bundle offers, I was persuaded to get an X-Box..! If Nintendo are going to get anywhere in the console wars, then they're going to have to drop the price.
Well as you say its getting late in the season, if they dont drop within the next week then it will be too late.
when do you reckon if the dont drop it soon people will of already bought a xbox or ps2 for xmas and it will be too late.
Its been like this for a few weeks apparently. Thats why im expecting a price drop anytime soon.
