Efter en periode med et lidt sløjt salg, ser det endelig ud til at GameCube konsollerne flyver over disken. Nintendo har i hvert fald netop meddelt, at der hen over Thanksgiving er solgt et anseeligt antal GameCube og GBA maskiner.
GameCube ligger i øjeblikket nummer et i USA i forhold til salget af maskiner henover Thanksgiving. Selv Game Boy Advance solgte 600.000 eksemplarer i perioden.Og Nintendo er naturligvis glade.
"All along, our business plan for this year was to maximize consumer interest and sales during the fourth quarter. But frankly, we're overwhelmed by how successful we've been. Our price cut of Nintendo GameCube has ignited sales to the degree that it may turn out to be the best-selling console for the entire month of November. We're tracking to sell more systems in the last eight weeks of the year than we did in the previous 10 months combined."
Så GameCube er altså en stor success.
