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 .

That's a funny statement pity the public and the developers disagree.

anyway, who cares about sales?
"Hey I sold 8 bottles of lemonade!"
"I sold 12 Mwahaha!"
Which is utterly pointless, plus, many people buying it are mindless adults with no knowledge of what the best is *cough*X-Box*cough* Yes, that's right, I'm a Ninty fan, but at the moment X-Box is best, though by this time next year the GC will be trouncing the opposition.

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that you insult like a 12 year old, or that you'd have us believe you're old enough to afford and drive a Lexus.

He calls you Cherry because you're a virgin and he's not. He doesn't care what kind of car your Dad has.
