"IS THIS THE END OF THE GAMECUBE???"

I would like to hear your comments on 'IS THIS THE END OF THE GAMECUBE' ideas include the new price of the Cube, and why Nintendo aren't selling that many units, is it because the stupid gaps between Japanese and UK releases?? All your opinions are welcome..... Also is the price of the Gamecube telling us that nearly all retailers aren't bothered about the Gamecube anymore or is it just a marketing scam?? :)

Argos aren't selling their Gamecube stock off though, after all they are taking pre-orders and are not reducing the price of games.

A link to the past was excellent, yes, but thats the genius of Nintendo. They managed to introduce a full 3-D world to the Zelda series, but they *kept* the same half free/half linear path (you can do what you want, but you always have a task to do), intact, in full (stunning for its time) 3-D.

Wind Waker is simply taking it in another direction - Sea, boats, islands. Sounds excellent. The cel-shading just makes the whole gameworld look more vibrant, emotive and alive. Sure, a realistic one would be just as incredible, but Zelda has always been about a suspension of disbelief, something the cel-shading manages to do perfectly - its just so vibrant.

I expect many people have said this...

Due to the recent price cuts in the cube, at Argos and Dixens, many people have bought them recently. I have even considered buying one for a cheap price, ten selling it again, to make money. Also, on Saturday, one of my friends was round, and i said he should get a Gamecube. The next day, he was off to Argos. The likely hood is that loads of other people will do the same.

Don't be silly Mr. MUEL!

Maddum, please do not annoy me or I will delete you of this planet, if you are actually on it.

No i dont think GC will die out anytime soon however I would like to see alot more quality games lining the top 10 charts and alot more games being produced in general. We never seem to have hardly as much games as PS2 and xbox. also there is not enough decent games coming out. Too much crap cloggs up the few shelves we have at the back of Game and HMV. Those rubish fighting games and crap ports from other consoles. too many sh*t extreme sports games are produced aswell.

when we s**tart getting atleas**t 2 quality exclusive titles out a month, then we can safely say that we are on tack for survival.

NO IT IS NOT THE END OF THE GAMECUBE.
