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!!

I would rather have a Gamecube's weight in gold than a Gamecube.

Yes, i think the CUBE should be advertised more. What do other people think about the CUBE?

So what do you think they need to do to get the message across that the CUBE is worth its weight in gold!

I haven't seen any billboards yet, i've seen Xbox ones, but no GC. Suprisingy, PS2 has loads of advertising.

So you're saying that you can't enjoy playing on your console unless it's the most popular?


You suck.

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.

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