GBA-SP is taking over the old GBA.
 
That's no surprise about the GBA-SP.

I'm surprised however by the GameCube selling so little.

Well because the ford focus would really suck at displaying games.

Saying the gamecube is selling badly when its selling in second place all those months is harsh and then not to say the xbox is selling even worse is a pretty obvious dig.

If i posted that randy would come in and say dude why is everything u post have a negative in it some where .

I'll assume you're joking here.

Perhaps I should release my own console in Japan that will sell one unit a month, so that GC sales can look good compared to that? Xbox sales are completely horrible there JVD. Comparing anything to it, is like saying "yeah, I have $10 left in my pocket and nothing to eat, but this guy collecting cigarette butts off the street has only $1 - so it's all cool, I'm still 10x as rich as he is"

THere are 3 main systems. To say the one selling in 2nd place for those months is horrible with out saying anything about the number 3 console for those months. I never said comparing it to the ps2 its selling great but compared to the xbox it is.
 
Abyss line is Nintendo needs to change! They should NOT (added later :) ) feel happy by being just profitable....they should aim to regain that no 1 position...!

Think we can all agree its to late for ms or nintendo to catch sonys lead. I think nintendo should be very pleased in second place this gen and hopefully make agressive moves for next generation.

I dont think they should (will) be pleased about their performance.....they sold only about 50% of their initial target.....they barely scraped past MS (a new player)....and controversially ;) gained 2nd position...I feel that with the kind of games GC has, it should sell much more but somehow it didnt materialise....dont know what is holding them back...!

Don't know what is holding them back ? Its the hype machine that is sony. Its the same thing holding back ms too . Look at it this way if you consider the gamecube priced at 150 with no games barely scrapping by against the xbox sold at 200 with 2 free games then u need to go back to school . With out factoring the huge loss ms takes on each xbox already you have to factor in the 100 bucks those two games take. That means when all is said and done the gamecube was selling better than a 50$ cheaper system. I think nintendo did really good and thats where thier great games back them up.

Eh? Last I heard MS was #2... yeesh.

jvd; your logic is fucked.

Last i heard world wide nintendo was number 2 and the gamecube is outselling the xbox in japan for all those months posted above. Which means its doing better than the xbox . Yet everyone is saying its doing horrible. How is my lodgic fucked ?
 
I guess i'll leave it up to someone who cares more than I to argue that heh (Refers to "messageboard forums/special olympics" picture)
