Great Britain are supposed to get around 50,000 gamecubes by day one.

Meaning that SOME SHOPS MIGHT ONLY GET AS LITTLE AS 10 GAMECUBES.

Does NE1 know how many sr are getting?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Places are stopping their 'get it on the day of release' guarantee?


eg. Quote from one place - 'The GameCube is going to be in very short supply when it launches in May. We can no longer guarantee Day 1 delivery of the console.'

Don't worry- they will not seel out.

Reasons:
1) Post Xmas launch= sales not as high as, say, the PS2
2) Ninty consoles generally sell on the backs of word of mouth, and not massive hype. Sales will be steady, not booming.
3) The first batch of GCs will mostly be bought by the big Ninty fans- not so many casual gamers.

Yep, Nintendo seem to think this figure will double though...could happen, I think it's unlikely though...

I said that the French are getting a lot of the 500,000 euro machines not 500,000! That just would be greedy.

France getting all 500k?

I doubt it!

Europe in general are getting 500k GameCubes, maybe that's what the French meant...

France have CLAIMED they have bagged 500,000
I and many others think this is hugely optimistic

I don't know. France is being pretty greedy grabbing a huge number of the 500,000 of the Euro consoles on launch day. Don't know how many Britain's bagged. I've already placed my pre-order, so no need to worry, well for me anyway.
