"Hmmm, how does that work?"

Ok.

Micorsoft announce Xbox price drop on friday, compensating us early buyers with free games at a joypad.

Ninties run around screaming:

"Xbox has failed! Hahahahaha! Goo-goo ga-ga".

Nintendo announce GC price drop BEFORE the bloody thing has even been released.

Ninties run around screaming:

"GC is the best! We get it cheaper! Hahahaha! Goo-goo ga-ga".


Now, am I the only one that thinks that's a bit stupid? Xbox price comes down because it made good business sense.

GC was the cheapest console anyway, why reduce the price?

Could it be that Nintendo realise that the Xbox is a threat? Sony have already said that they may have to release the PS3 earlier as the Xbox is s***-hot.

I put it to you that Nintendo are scared crapless of the Xbox price drop.

On friday, you could have bought a console just as powerful (if not lsightly more) than the GC, with a top quality DVD player, for only £40 more than the price of the GC.

So they dropped the price. Because they're scared.

Goo goo ga ga.

As I've said elswhere in this topic, it annoys me when biased people such as yourself seem to think that one rule applies to what you like, and a different rules applies to what you don't like.

Dunno, care to tell me?

You think Gamecube suck?

Jesus, does it even matter? The X-Box is good, and it's cheaper. Excellent. The Gamecube also looks quite good, and it's cheaper. Excellent. If you ask me, everyone wins.

Heh, getting a bit worked up aint ya....

Where have I seen this before....

Sorry Ortega, I forgot you're a business analyst who knows it all.

Answer me this:

If the GC is so much better than the Xbox, why do they need to keep the price gap?

Obviously Nintendo are worried about the Xbox price drop, and the impact it will have on GC sales, so that's why they dropped the price.

Post the figures to back this up, toeface.

X-box went down becasue of crap sales.

Gamecube went down just to keep a big enough price gap. Its not as if the Gamecube was failing. Already 30,000+ pre-orders with two weeks before launch in the UK. Of course...The price cut will shift even more...

i can write very quickly yet can still spell with about 97% accuracy.

I know what the problem is now, it's trying to write qiuckly, that's my problem!
