Cube is dying down under because the distributors barely advertise at all. GBA sells strong yet Cube doesn't...
I agree with that, you see advertising for PS2, X-Box and GBA almost everywhere, but almost nothing anywhere for GC.
imo advertising is what's killing the GC in Aus, aswell as delayed releases (eg. PSO, and even once it finally
did get released, it had no online support from Game Nation, and no Modem or Broad Band adaptors were available to play online with), which from what I can gather is due to the fact that it has to be translated into 5 different languages before it's released (for english region releases, perhaps they should release it english only? like England/New Zealand/Australia). Really, unless NoAus is going to advertise, the cube is going to fail here.
