Catalogue Lords Argos's tactic of lowering the GameCube price to a ridiculous new level (£78.99 with a game and memory card) has seen sales of the little purpleston rocket.
According to the chain they sold 5000 Cubes on Saturday alone, which is a little better than the 100 they sold the week before. Stocks have practically been exhausted and unlucky, stinky punters have been sent away with nothing in their hands but sweat.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror 'Amy's I' column, Argos Marketing Director Paul Geddes had this to say: "We've struggled to keep up but cleared much of our overstock. It's been an unbelievable increase in demand. The previous Saturday we sold 100, this Saturday this leapt to almost 5000. We're replenishing stock all the time. If the current huge demand continues, stock will get very tight."
It doesn't take a genius to deduce that 5000 Cubes sold in one day at one chain is a large amount (about double the total weekly Cube sales nationwide over the last two months, in fact). Will this continue? Who knows? Not us. But get down to Argos soon if you want a bit of a pig-lickin' bargain.
