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.'
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.

> Last I heard is that 25,000 have already been pre ordered in the UK!!
Yep, Nintendo seem to think this figure will double though...could happen, I think it's unlikely though...
I doubt it!
Europe in general are getting 500k GameCubes, maybe that's what the French meant...
I and many others think this is hugely optimistic
