News source: GameSpotDice says: No wonder! It's not a surprise Nintendo will make double the profit. They hold best status for handheld gaming, and quite possibly for consoles as well. Gamecube leaving out the DVD Player feature boosted sales dramatically because of the price differences between Xbox and PS2 compared to Gamecube. People want to save money! The DVD feature should always be an OPTION, if you don't want it then you shouldn't have to pay for it. Plus with the largest collection of games, Gamecube and handhelds such as GC and GBA just seals the deal.
