PGC has uncovered a shred evidence that Nintendo intends to drop the price of the GameCube sooner than later…
We’ve just heard from one of our long-term retail reporters with some exciting news! Our retail-reporter friend, (we call him “Neosabre”) works at a major games-retail chain and just got in a new in-store display for GameCube. Not just any in store display either; one that advertises the Cube with “NEW LOW PRICE!”
The new GameCube display was received at Neosabre’s store just today, along with new PS2 and X-Box banners with their new prices. Neosabre didn’t know what the new price would be, or when the price cut would become effective. It seems that Nintendo is indeed planning a price cut. The only questions now are when and how much. However, it is possible that the new display was cooked up by the retail-chain in anticipation of such an announcement too, and may not reflect Nintendo’s actual plans. We’ll keep you posted as this develops.
Thanks to Neosabre!
