Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150

Posted by timothy on from the third-shoe-drops dept.

DarkZero writes: "According to Planet Gamecube, Nintendo, as was expected, has dropped the price of the GameCube to $150. As the consoles currently stand, the GameCube is $50 cheaper than both the X-Box and the PS2, letting it retain half of its price edge on its competitors. Neither Sony nor Microsoft has commented on it yet, but Microsoft might decide to lower the price of the X-Box a little bit more in retaliation. Yay, competitive pricing!"

    MS might just be totally confused! "You mean we have to lower our prices to sell stuff?"

    Sony (holding royal flush): I raise you $1.
    Nintendo (holding 4 aces): I'll see your $1 and raise you $2:
    MS (holding jack-squat): I'll see your $2 and raise you A MILLION BILLION DOLLARS.
    Sony: Fold.
    Nintendo: Fold.
    MS: Mwahahahahahaha.
