Nintendo Drops GameCube Price to $150

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!"

    What you don't realise, nintendo has a nice chunk of change stored up as well... seeing as they own Pokemon which is what helped them through the N64, and they have been making money from their Cubes since day 1. Nintendo isn't going to be pushed out of the hardware market any time soon.
