And then you wonder why some people buy into the whole "Nintendo/Nintendo fans = teh kiddy" image :rolleyes:

lmao, that made me laugh. good job

Taking things a bit seriously, are we?

Now back on the subject at hand, it's no news nowadays that Nintendo hasn't met profit or sales forecasts. I'm surprised by these worldwide sales numbers, though. I was under the impression that the GameCube has always outsold the Xbox worldwide because the margin is just so big in Japan. BAB suggested on another forum that the 5.6 million number for the GameCube was for just March 2002 to March 2003, but I have no idea where he pulled that information from.

Ditto. Microsoft doesn't care whether they lose money or not. If I remember correctly, they even said that they expected huge financial losses while they built a fan base. I also believe that they have confirmed the development of "X-Box 2."

But everyone here already knows that...

haha... he just can't accept it.

Im pretty sure its noyl their fiscal year, thats ussualy how it works. Cause I recall reports even before christmas that had numbers higher than that. And above xbox at the time by some million+. I know xbox gain a million more than Nintendo or something like that, narrowing the lead, but I doubt they gained a 2+ million lead between then and now without any word of it, and sales not reflecting that much of a lead.

no, they haven't started.... they'll just wait to see what cheepaz computer is on the market in 2005 and make a different plastic case for it.... it shall be called the Y-Box

just going in order

:lol:

wait a minute.. he had his effect on me :( :) :( :lol: :( :mad: :)

What's the big deal?
Nintendo's gaining it's profit, we're getting our great games! :)
Although I'd like to see some more good 3rd party titles. :(

HAHAhhA well atleast I laughed for the morning.........god job GM and DH. :D

Well, in the largest global recession in living memory, and a dire Japanese economy, it appears that they've fared better than excpected.

Over 500 million in profits? That sounds pretty good to me. Im not concerned. Their sales forecast was too high anyways...I remember hearing that way back when and thinking there's no way they will sell that many.
