Gamecube Software Support Waning?

Posted by simoniker on from the survival-of-the-fittest dept.

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to a CNET News report discussing the declining amount of titles being planned or released for the Nintendo Gamecube. It quotes an Activision spokesman as saying "I think it's good for the industry as a whole if you have three strong players, but that's not the direction it's going." Is the Gamecube third-party software support on its way out?

    Nintendo produces enough quality games by themselves, that I'd still buy a Gamecube if every single third-party developer dropped dead.

    For $200 - you can get a nice little box that hookes up to your TV and can play Zelda on it. Just for that, it's $200 well spent. If you're a poor SOB, sell it for $100.

    Hell, XBOX owners think the same thing - they practiaclly can call it the HALO-BOX.

    Me: Herd you got an XBOX.
    XBOX user: Yeah! It's got Halo. (Shows me the level with the Jeep-thingys on the beach)

    Next month:

    Me: Played anything good recently.
    XBOX user: Yeah! I got Halo. (Shows me the level with the Jeep-thingys on the beach)
