Topic: GameCube Sales on Target

[WindyMan]

Iwata said Nintendo would sell a certain amount, and he's sticking to his story.

In a small newsbyte on Yahoo! Japan, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was quoted as saying that Nintendo will meet its worldwide GameCube sales goal of 6 million units for the fiscal year, which finishes up in March. "The target is in sight, [but] it won't be an easy victory," he said.

Thanks to the price drop to $99 in America and similar price drops elsewhere, GC sales have skyrocketed. In addition to the recent Japanese and upcoming US release Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, along with other potentially big sellers before March, Nintendo has a pretty good shot at meeting their target, despite the woefully slow start to 2003.
