The latest sales figures do not read good for the Nintendo Gamecube at all.

GC sold 10,000
Xbox sold 21,000

and PS2 sold a staggering 95,000 3 times as may as the other two put together.

Pretty poor reading if you are an Xbox owner, but far worst for Ninty fanboys.

Less than half the amount of Xbox, why is the GC doing so poorly well thats is obvious to everyone except hardened Ninty fanboys.

No dvd people would rather pay a little extra for that function.

GC packages are actually no cheaper than the Xbox or PS2.

Rubbish games line-up that prove the gamer has moved on from
games like Mario. Dont take my word for it look at the figures, Starfox was hardly a resounding success either.

Games are taking far too long to produce (I thought the GC was a sinch to program for), people sick of waiting.

Xbox and PS2 get all the really big titles because they have the bigger, better and industry standard format .

One thing you'll realise after a while posting here:

Say anything negative about the Gamecube and you'll be smothered by cabbage-patch kids crying lustily and shouting "monkey ball".

Nintendo fans wouldn't know what Industry standard was anyway.

It is dvd of course the format of choice for all the major game publishers today when is the last time you have seen a game on CD it is the future and the present format of choice.

Pity Nintendo decided to sell there fanbase river with its small disc format, looks good though. MGS2 substance on XBox and PS2 because they use a format big enough.

CD became the industry standard when the Original PS was released back in the mid 90's however once again Nintendo went there own way and used cartridge again.

Anyone see a pattern developing.

Just what the heck is an "industry standard format" supposed to mean?
I think that term is made up...

Come on, it's gotta be a made up term.

Well, is it?
