So the games at £40 with a console at £129.

And you're happy paying almost a 3rd of the console cost for each game?
Hmmmm.
That's the equivalent of paying £65 per PS2/Xbox game.

Good on Nintendo for dropping the price. Before it's even launched.
That shows confidence in a product.
Hell, the GBA is more than half the price of a Gamecube.

It's odd though, the Xbox drops it's price and red-faced Ninty's start peeing in their nappies about how that means the Xbox is failing, despite decent sales figures at full price.

But when Nintendo announce they're dropping the price, before it's even launched, that suddenly means that Nintendo aren't worried.
No, that means Microsoft are even more scared?

I'm saying neither, just saying be consistent you big simple 'tards.

Well, The X-box had had poor sales in Europe. Launch was pritty good, but in recent weeks sales had fell down into 4 figures.

We(ninties) was all getting a Gamecube anyway, so a price reduction was always gonna make us smile wasnt it?

You listed a "massive" total of eight games there, and only two of which I would buy.

Somehow I don't think it was the N64 with better games...
