GameCube outsells PS2, Xbox in US
« on: October 08, 2003, 03:07:38 AM »
Nintendo issues an early morning release touting the success of the GameCube at $99.

Nintendo sent out a media alert early this morning announcing that GameCube has become the top-selling console in America since it's drop to $99.99 on Sept. 25.


Sales data from major retailers documenting sales for the week ending Oct. 4 shows GameCube outselling Xbox by 145%, and PS2 by 20%.


Nintendo also reaffirmed that Game Boy Advance has been outselling the competing consoles since it's inception, meaning that Nintendo now has two of the leading consoles as of this moment.

suprising, but if it is still liek this come christmas time, i will truely be impressed. actually i will be impressed if it is even out selling xbox and is still getting pummled by ps2. i just dont see the cube selling like this for much longer. but im glad that it picked up for at least the time being.

There is a very good chance of it. A few days ago I say some college student accually recomending a Gamecube over anything else to a friend and he was accually listening.
