Move over PS2 (UK charts)... - Page 2

Yes, I know some of it is the low low price thing. But even with that, PS2 could have still over-whelmed it. I think thats the first time either system beat PS2. Except maybe GC's launch.

Yea this is very good news for Nintendo this month but I am a little scared about what is going to happen when all the cut price stocks of Gamecube has gone and it goes back up to it’s full price again. It can only be a matter of a month or two till the Gamecube is back at full price and then who is going to buy you tell a customer he can no longer have £60 off with a free memory card and game and see what they think. Or this could totally go the other way and sales stay higher dew to an upturn in market presents.

Which ever way the next few months are going to be fun in the UK

For the third time in this thread, Argos have stated that they were overwhelmed with the success of this offer, that they will almost certainly decide to make it a permanant deal. They will NOT be dropping the Cube either. This deal will stand in the Argos group, and because many other stores have a price match policy, they will HAVE to follow suit, and permanantly offer the cube at this price.

I wonder when Nintendo will 'officially' cut the price?

You're right though, 'tis an exciting time in Europe.
