thats right ea europe had a press confrence on the 9th of may yesturday to be presise, and when they came about to talk about hardware sales, they said that the gamecube has already sold 400,000 units from its release date.
this is incredble. go to www.cube-europe.com
but no official comment from nintendo, oh yeah what else makes me angry is that konami are crying as their sales were low, (thats what you get if you dont make mgs on the gamecube) and guess what they making a another mgs2 ???? its called mgs2 and the rest i dont know and it coming out for xbox, ps2 and pc, what about gamecueb konami, xbox is doing so crap in europe and japan so why choose that console over gamecube, hideo kojima i thought you loved working on the gamecube??/ looks like we will have to wait for e3 to see the real truth unless nintendo told konami not to tell anyone( i doubt it very much)

Errr... who says the xbox is doing badly in europe. There have been no official, or even unofficial, figures to support this. In fact, EB and GAME have said their sales are pretty good, and that people are making the bad news up!
But anyway, the reason MGS will go onto xbox and not GC is simply because, having made the PC version, it's easy to port to Xbox architecture. And US sales are important.

So that's most of the first shipment gone?
When's the next shipment coming. I've ordered but SR are out of stock! :-(
In about 3 days I'll have Rogue Leader, 2 black controllers, a purple controller, a sound station 3 and no Gamecube to use them with! :-D
For the best really, with my exams and all...

MGS2 is a brilliant game but was over hyped, it was to short and to much talking to be a masterpiece, Rent it. Secondly 400,000 is a brilliant amount but it doesn't surprise me, Bill Gates is probably thinking what the hell he has done, spending all that money to make something like that, Urgh. :)
Wow! Not bad. And to think... Bill gates tried to buy them out!...
Who carews about MGS, they're completely overrated.
I know loads of people with a gamecube.
And on the monday after the launch, when I went to rent a game from blockbuster almost all of them were already out! That just shows how popular it is. Unless someone rented all of them out at once....

I actually think they are now, what with actual advertising and everything...
400000 is a pretty darn impressive figure!
If true, perhaps Nintendo will start to take Europe more seriously from now on!

I think the nex MGS is actually scheduled to appear on Xbox, I'm afraid.
