GameCube Production to Halt

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the all-caught-up-and-then-some dept.

avayre writes "Nintendo is to press the pause button on production of its GameCube consoles while it clears inventory of unsold machines. the company's president said on Thursday. But Satoru Iwata promised the struggling games company was developing a radical new product to be announced next year -- however he gave few details save to say it would be a departure from mainstream gaming consoles 'that will have a big impact on the world.'" My prediction is that it's just downtime until Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles ships. That'll help move those units that are gathering dust.

  1. I'm your Target Market by Dalroth · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nintendo: I'm your target market. I'm a 27 year old male, I have a LOT of money. I spend a lot on video games. I don't have a Game Cube and I don't want a Game Cube. Why? Your controller sucks and you've only got two games I want to play (Metroid and Zelda).

    Stop making kids games. Start making games targetted at me. Until you do so, all my money is going to continue going to so Sony, Microsoft, and my PC. You can't win this war without my demographic.
