"Advertising - that is Nintendo's BIGGEST problem......"

I feel gutted every time I read another story about the failing cube, the kiddies machine, the console no-one wants etc etc etc. The biggest problem and it really IS the problem is that Nintendo just aren't advertising enough! When they do, the ad's are crap and leave you thinking 'I could of done better than that'. PLEEEEEEEASE Nintendo, make some good tv adverts. Get the CUBE up there where it belongs. DONT let it become another Dreamcast! Dont let all those smug Playstation owners revel in this consoles struggle any longer. We need adverts on ITV at 5, 6 and 7 O'Clock in the evening when people are watching, not on Channel 4 at 3 in the morning when everyone is in bed or is too drunk to even realise the TV is on!!

Strange that a console no one wants has sold more than the XBox has worldwide.

The Metroid advert is on digital channels all the time.

Who gives a monkeys left testicle about sales?

I'm happy with my Xbox and Gamecube, and if your happy with your console, great!

hehe. I agree with N64 guy, they've made hardly any effort in advertising, yet they out sell xbox, just imadgeon the sales if they advertised.

I give a monkeys, because it IS about sales! EVERYTHING these days is about sales! All Im saying is that people who hear this crap will avoid the machine becasue they know no better!

"imadgeon"
seriously?

ok. i cant spell that word, it's the only word i have difficulty with. Bog off...

Technicly, Nintendo are the best company, because they've made the most profit.

Actually they have made a significant effort.

I've seen a few adverts for Kingdom Hearts and Primal. I've seen no XBox adverts since the originals were taken off the air. I saw the Mario Sunshine advert a lot around it's release time, the original 'things in a cube' advert was on all the time for a few months after the Cube's launch, and the Metroid Advert is on CH4 and digital all the time.

And the 'Cube w/Metroid Prime were the official sponsers of the Winter Jam.
