That price drop really helped, almost doubling Xbox sales in November. I'm not much for sales, but the forums seem a bit dead lately so meh

I read this a few days ago. Good for Nintendo. But they still need to advertise more heavily on their most selling games. I have seen the MK: DD commerciall a few times, but I see Mario Party 5 all the fricking time. If Nintendo advertised MK: DD as much as they did Mario Party, sales would be even better.

Yeah so true, they always advitise the less liked games instead of advitising the big hitters, i can see where there coming from but they dont advitise the big ones enough!

Yeah, the price dropped really did help. For only a $100, its the perfect gift for parents to give to their kids, and practically everyone can afford one.

Let it be known that when I read this, I was the only person online at GameTavern.

See now, to me, that seems right. I've played both games extensively and have to say that I definately prefer Mario Party 5 (particularly as a multiplayer game). It was just so well thought out in my opinion.

The spike in sales is good. They need to keep it up, though. I feel so hopeless when I think of Nintendo, and it's really sad. I feel like I'm watching them slowly kill themselves a little more every day.

I bet the hot item this season is the GBA SP. I know a ton of people who are getting them - heck, even my brother and I are getting one. Nintendo's covered there.

I put one on my Christmas List, but I doubt I will get one. Ive got to much other stuff on there, like Games and DVD's.

I'm starting to question why I buy Nintendo systems around launch. I could have easily waited for the price drop and already have played most of the games I own for the system already...would have saved me a $100 at least. I just get caught up in all the hype surrounding a new lanuch I suppose.

I had a dream that the GameCube was only €50 or something... weird dream, I remembered it when I read the thread.

Makes you wonder, how many dreams in 1 night do you forget??? So how many dreams have you had in your whole life?? Could be millions!

Someone needs help.

People typically have about 250 dreams per night, but obviously they don't remember many if any...

Yeah. My sleep cycles get really messed up every once in a while (like the past 3 nights). I have only a few dreams a night. But they're very long and I remember all of them (I think). Time to start taking my prescription sleep drugs again methinks.
