Redestium Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Just found this and I had to share, it points out some really good things and I'd say is a must read. Planet GameCube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macrosslover Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 hmm, have you seen the editorial on nintendojo? wow, that's some language in that article against Nintendo and it's fans by another fan or disgruntled fan. i agree with alot that both the editorials say. igncube has already said that sales have started to decline already (they didn't say by how much though) but if Nintendo GCN sales go back to the original numbers before the cut, what will Nintendo say then? what will they do then? what will the fans say? i think the cut was an act of both desparation and strategy. no matter how much plantegamecube and others might want to whitewash it, people simply weren't buying Gamecubes and the sales were all but dead, but this is what people needed. of course if Nintendo bundled a game with it, that would be a completel bundle, but we will see what happens in the long run. i think the biggest thing is to make sure Nintendo learns lessons from the mistakes it made this round. next time have a more standard disk formart, a controller designed with 3rd parties in mind and not your own games anymore, more marketing more marketing more marketing, more M rated games too that probably has to come from Nintendo to get others to show they can succedd on the system.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 11, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2003 The M rated game thing is just plain retarded, there are plenty. But they do need ot conform, whetehr they like it or not. I mean htey have a better console for games than ps2 but ps2 edges it out with the dvd player and cd player in that way. Of course xbox blows them both out of the water in any hardware standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonik Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 GameCube has the best games of all 3 consoles. 'Nuff said. I can name over 20 games for GameCube and I can barely name 5 for PlayStation 2. I'm talking about games exclusively for the PlayStation, not PC...so Grand Theft Auto doesn't count. ;) X-Box just sucks. Also, what are you talking about the controller for? The controller is perfect, not too big, not too small. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_87 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 jeez, this had been discussed a billion times on these boards, and everyother board on the internet I'm sure. It's your opinion about what console you think is the best. Some people like GC, some PS2, and some Xbox. Just GROW UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 also there arent any good third party games...i think it will actually go the way of the dreamcast. :laugh: Believe what you want on the third party front. I'll be enjoying the same third party games you will on your Xbox this Winter while you're believing that though. And Dreamcast is still #2 this generation. 12 million worldwide, GameCube and Xbox are still struggling for 10 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEMO.INC Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I do think that that nintendo hoped better sales, the cube is prifitable, but how much... How is it "profiting" in comparsion with n64 or SNES.... Sony is way ahead in sales and profit, it is the winner of this generation of consoles. But no one is the KING as the GameboyAdvance, that little piece of machine is just amazing,It is the KING of portable games, nokia "baby" is cool but i do think that it looks like **** when you are talking, it just doesn't look cool with that thing on your ear. Let the new console deathmach begin, Will sony keep with the great PlayStation with full cell power), will Nintedo shook off the cube un-coolnes, will Microsoft positioning xbox campaign will make xbox2 profitable with Ati help.... what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted October 12, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2003 nintendo made huge steps from the 64 but others made steps too and it outflashed the cube. The cube jsut needs to make some more mainstream steps as well such as hd online dvd/cd player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
