Nintendo has set some high goals for the Eurpean release, explains Miyamoto.

"We are sorry that we are late in introducing the GameCube to Europe, but, we really wanted to have the right amount of hardware and by delaying the launch until May we are able to stock enough machines to be able to sell 500,000 consoles on day one. Within two months of the launch we expect to shift 1,000,000 units of GameCube hardware across Europe. I think that we are better prepared for the launch of the next console into this market and will have prepared 20 titles for day one for Europe."

While offering reasoning for the delay, Miyamoto reveals something special.

"The situation is that we are having a series of meetings about Mario Kart for GameCube and we have come to the point where we will be making some drastic changes to the last games. Sonic the Hedgehog might be one of the drivers!"

We'll have to wait and see what comes of this.
