It has come to my attention that the local woolworths (Billericay, Essex), does not stock any X-Box games or hardware. I overheard a conversation today between a teenage gamer and the manager of the store.
"Do you have X-Box games?"
"X-Box? What's that?"
"It's a games console"
"Oh right, you mean the Gamecube. Yep, the games are just over.."
"No, the X-Box.". In desparation, he adds, "Microsoft?"
"Oh, well I don't know about that. I didn't realise there were any more of these silly things. You'll have to ask the entertainment department, they're the experts."
And so we follow his plight to the "entertainment department", where he asks whether they stock any "silly things".
"Do you have X-Box games?
"What?"
"X-Box games?"
"Oh, you mean that Microsoft thing? No, we've got the Game Cube in from yesterday though, the games are over there, and we have the console with two con......"
As well as general misunderstanding about gaming, someone in woolworths has either forgotton about the X-Box, or else decided not to sell it. Perhaps it is sold in larger stores, but this does seem to indicate that someone thinks that the GC is more lucrative.
Only time will tell whether they're right.......

Ha ha, it's usally the other way around with X-Box and Cube
You ask most people on the street if they've heard of the Playstation and they say yeah, you ask them about the Box or Cube and they look blank
