Take from N-Philes.com

Market researchers forecast that Nintendo will sell 2.5 million Gamecube units in Europe by year-end. The same researchers also forecast that Microsoft will sell 1.5 million XBox units by year-end. This means the Gamecube is most likely outselling the XBox and is projected to continue doing so through the rest of the year.

*waits for Belldandy to come in and refute the figures and throw a hissy fit*

POP for Belladandy.

What's the money on him clocking eyes on this and still denying it?

Well the fact that it's on Digitiser, Ceefax page 175 this morning. Not such a long wait after all.

Are you still going to live in denial and keep telling yourself the Xbox is selling well now?

You really are starting to get very annoying don't ya know.

Can you not understand that your beloved Xbox is not selling as well as Cube?

You may own a Cube, but the way you go on you might as well be an obssessed Xbox fanboy.

Blimey.. can't you just accept the GC is doing well? Anyone would think you hate Nintendo, for crying out loud. It's the truth. It's fact.

Deal with it.

Same, traded it in for MP4 the other day.

The whole game just felt like I was going through the motions, I played it but I certainly didn't enjoy it. Graphics where sweet, game play wise there was little or nothing to do. A puzzle is not shooting a switch on a far away platform that you can barely see, someone needs to tell Rare this.

Only bit that I thought was good was the fact that the leader of the Sharpclaw tribe sounded like Papa Lazarou, the rest was utter balls.

I found it quite boring, but somehow interesting to me. I can't really explain it. There was never actually anything exciting going on in the game, but it never felt like a chore. Anyway, it was too easy - the only hard bits were the bits when the game left it unclear what to do, rather than me struggling to do something.

But I've sent it back and haven't regretted it, so it can't have been a very good game.

Whether you liked 'em or not, Starfox and Mario still increased sales no end.

Oh and yes, Starfox did indeed suck balls.
