I'll probably rent it (maybe during the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend) since I have no job at the moment. I'll maybe rent Madden 2003 for PS2 b/c I just bought the new PS2 Network Adapter. And I'll be getting Metroid Prime (along with some other old SNES and NES) from a friend of mine in NYC.

yeah we'll see who ends up at top for november...Prime, Cell or GTA. personally i think it's going to be GTA, Prime and then Cell. why Prime ahead of Cell?? well cause right now Xbox users how so many games to choose from with Unreal, mech assault and all the live games so that divides up the sales. but with the gaycube, there's nothing else out, so it's the only thing that people can get.

That's uncalled for dude. The Gamecube has other great games in addition to Metroid Prime:

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Monkey Ball 1

Super Monkey Ball 2

Star Fox Adventures

Pikmin

Resident Evil

Resident Evil 0

Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader

Animal Crossing

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Wave Race: Blue Storm

i'm fully aware of that, but looking at the data that was just presented...it is pretty obvious that gamecube users aren't picking that software up (except for Smash Brothers). Mario does look like it's selling ok, but i'm pretty sure it's underselling. and there was actually a mention by one of the ign editors (Fran i think) who said that ED has basically bomb. it has sold basically only 150,000+ copies. i do believe that Smash Brothers is the Cube's only million seller....so it's not like the Launch games did to great. but don't quote me on that last stat.

but we're talking about NEW releases coming out now. and basically Prime is the only game worth getting for the Cube right now.

ED Sales

Hi, I was wondering how Eternal Darkness has been selling? I read some inferences that it sold poorly. If true, it's a shame; ED is a masterpiece.

Matt responds: Sadly, Eternal Darkness hasn't sold as well as it should have. The game debuted to roughly 150,000 in sales in the US and hasn't moved too many more units since. This isn't exactly what I'd call a bomb by any means, but the game definitely deserves better. While it performed even worse in Japan, early indications are that it's actually doing very well in Europe, which is good news.

well as expected ign just posted some initial sales data of prime and it has already sold 250,000 units as expected. i've previously given my reasons why it would sell so well. don't get my wrong i do think it's a good game, but when you have many many games to choose from, as opposed to just one in my opinion then of course that game will dominate.

if you check out the article on ign, i personally don't think it's fair for Nintendo do compare a service to a game, let's do game to game comparison now. they say they are now #2 for hardware sales for this month, well i'll believe it when i see it. but in my opinion, if all the live software combined outsales Prime, then that says alot. because if just Splinter Cell or Unreal came out then there's less competition for the software among potential Xbox buyers so it would have the same chance as Prime to reach as many buyers as possible.

that said, Nintendo better hope that Splinter Cell doesn't outsell Prime, oh my god that would be such an embarassment.

are there even 1.4 million people who own a game cube for a singe game to sell that many? haha :laugh:

It's guys like you and comments like that that turn these discussions into flame wars. I wouldn't post in these threads unless you can contribute an intelligent post. :crazy:

actually it was a serious question...and how is your post a good contribution? it didn't even answer my question. you just assume i was saying the game cube is crap. so actually it's people like you who ruin these discussions.

If it was a serious question, then maybe you should have made it sound serious from the get-go. Plus the way you phrased your question doesn't even make sense to me.

so actually it's people like you who ruin these discussions.

You've obviously have never read my other posts in the Gamer's Hangout forum, so don't even go there.

I agree to StevoFC, are there really that many game cubes even sold? :blink: As a former employee of Best Buy, Game Cube sold the least amount of systems. It was actually PS2 that ranked #1, and we sold more Game Boy Advanceds than Game Cube. Too be more specific StevoFC last month the combined total of all Xboxs and Game Cubes still came up short of PS2, so really I do agree with you.

XBoX (Total) + Game Cube (Total) < PS2 (Total) :woot:

Um duh. You don't need to work at a retail store to figure out that PS2 sells more systems then the Gamecube, GBA and Xbox. All you have to do is look up the latest sales numbers for the systems and you can figure that out. Things are beginning to change for the Gamecube tho, with Metroid Prime (contender for Game of the Year against "Splinter Cell") and Resident Evil 0.

:laugh: Yeah I'm well aware of the fact that you don't need to work in a retail store to beable to say if game cube sucks or not. I really dont know why in all honesty anyone would purchase one? I mean this month alone we sold 150 PS2s vs like 20 or 30 Game Cubes. Face it at least with PS2 you getting a great gaming system with a DVD player, plus the added accesories such as the online gaming, surf boards, keyboards, soon to be addition hard drives, etc. I'm not seeing Nintendo making any efforts to try and catch up to what Sony is what seems to be setting the standard for todays gaming. Plus more and more games are continuing to come out for Playstation too, not only Game Cube. So just because metroid is coming out doesnt really mean anything. If anyone has played Vice City, then you should know how amazing it is. So when I see Nintendo come out with a game with the caliber of Vice City, then I'll start to have more respect for the company, until then have fun with Mario.

Ha wow, just realizing something.....this thread started out with video game sales, and now its kinda like a debate on what gaming system is better. Wow, StevoFC started this movement.......ha :laugh:

Just b/c Gamecube isn't selling as many systems as the PS2 doesn't mean that it sucks. The Nintendo Gamecube is an excellent system and is capable as much as the PS2 is. Nintendo unfortuantely is having a hard time shaking off the image that is just for kids. But those people who are SMART enough too see past the design of the console and see how fun most of the games are in for a treat. I highly doubt that the Grand Theft Auto series will have the staying power like Metroid, Zelda, Mario, etc. Now I'm not saying that the Vice City isn't an excellent game, but I doubt it can last as long as some other games.

I don't hate on other system like some people think. I have not found a reason to purchase the Xbox yet b/c I have not found any games that appeal to ME. If a game is fun, I will still play it, regardless of the system. It's a shame that some people don't see it that way and become **cough** FANBOYS **cough**

huh?

:cool: Okay, refering to your huh??? What he was saying was The PC is a better system than an Xbox which is better than ps2 which is better than game cube.

Well I would have to say that yeah no kidding that a PC is a better system for games, there are millions of reasons, but I'll be nice and name just a few.

Number 1: Processor, lets look at todays current processors, they are all about in the 2.0 Ghz range where what XBox is only 700 or 750mhz?? :huh:

Number 2: You can jam pack a PC full of RAM up to say 2 Gig of RAM, now what gaming system can touch that? :huh:

Number 3: Lets not forget video card, how can you compare a 128 MB card to any video game systems graphics.

So basically what I am saying is that you cannot even put a PC against any other system, really it isnt fair because it is no match.

- = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - =

Jago.... to say that you have to be smart to look past the design of the console and for the "treat" of the games, well I have one thing to say.......We have.

The actual console for PS2 is much better than Game Cube, plus the fact there are more games, plus you can run your PS1 games on a PS2. Now if you have a Game Cube that can play N64 Games, then I'll give you props but until then, I as well as the millions......... :woot: AND MILLIONS :woot: .....of PS2 gamers will agree that sony very well has the better platform. I mean how many times can Mario face Bowser or save a princess?? After a while the basics behind Nintendos games have lost touch, and I will say that Nintendo started out as a gaming system for kids, and today it still is a gaming system for kids. Nintendo has been out of the gaming race for a long time, and it will take them a while before they can have a system that can match up to the par of Sony or even Microsoft (Blah).

Hmm...heres a thought? What if apple took a G4 Processor and made their own gaming system? It def. would be a match up for Xbox, considering that the G4 will blow by the Xboxs processor. Anyway....I can't believe how far off base this thread got from the start......Ha, well that goes to show how one person can change the way a thread goes..........

Ha, thanks StevoFC. :laugh:

Um duh. You don't need to work at a retail store to figure out that PS2 sells more systems then the Gamecube, GBA and Xbox. All you have to do is look up the latest sales numbers for the systems and you can figure that out. Things are beginning to change for the Gamecube tho, with Metroid Prime (contender for Game of the Year against "Splinter Cell") and Resident Evil 0.

:laugh: Yeah I'm well aware of the fact that you don't need to work in a retail store to beable to say if game cube sucks or not. I really dont know why in all honesty anyone would purchase one? I mean this month alone we sold 150 PS2s vs like 20 or 30 Game Cubes. Face it at least with PS2 you getting a great gaming system with a DVD player, plus the added accesories such as the online gaming, surf boards, keyboards, soon to be addition hard drives, etc. I'm not seeing Nintendo making any efforts to try and catch up to what Sony is what seems to be setting the standard for todays gaming. Plus more and more games are continuing to come out for Playstation too, not only Game Cube. So just because metroid is coming out doesnt really mean anything. If anyone has played Vice City, then you should know how amazing it is. So when I see Nintendo come out with a game with the caliber of Vice City, then I'll start to have more respect for the company, until then have fun with Mario.

Ha wow, just realizing something.....this thread started out with video game sales, and now its kinda like a debate on what gaming system is better. Wow, StevoFC started this movement.......ha :laugh:

Just b/c Gamecube isn't selling as many systems as the PS2 doesn't mean that it sucks. The Nintendo Gamecube is an excellent system and is capable as much as the PS2 is. Nintendo unfortuantely is having a hard time shaking off the image that is just for kids. But those people who are SMART enough too see past the design of the console and see how fun most of the games are in for a treat. I highly doubt that the Grand Theft Auto series will have the staying power like Metroid, Zelda, Mario, etc. Now I'm not saying that the Vice City isn't an excellent game, but I doubt it can last as long as some other games.

I don't hate on other system like some people think. I have not found a reason to purchase the Xbox yet b/c I have not found any games that appeal to ME. If a game is fun, I will still play it, regardless of the system. It's a shame that some people don't see it that way and become **cough** FANBOYS **cough**

rgr quoting.

pc > xbox > ps2 > gba > gc.

systems? bah!

haha nice to see the morons out in force for this one. add the non-north american sales figures in and see how high the xbox games are then.

pc > xbox > ps2 > gba > gc. lol

i think you got it mixed up

pc > gc > ps2 > gba > psx > n64 > gb > snes > nes > gb 3d > atari > lynx > neogeo > calculator > microwave > a fork > xbox.

have a nice day fanboys. keep wishing that you're xbox will be great. i'll keep using mine to collect dust. and the controllers as bookends.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
