GameCube Dropped To $99 At Online Retailer

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday September 23, 2003 @01:17PM from the soon-nintendo-will-pay-you dept.

JFMulder writes "Retail partners Amazon.com and Toys 'R Us announced today that they were dropping the Gamecube console price down to $99. Even though Nintendo is probably losing money now on the GameCube, this is the move that Nintendo may be hoping will close the little gap between Xbox and GameCube in worldwide sales, and help it gain a solid lead over Microsoft in the coming months." A Reuters story mentions further indications that an official announcement is on its way, and all on Nintendo's 114th birthday, too.

" I know all sorts of stuff has been done to PS2 and X-box, but what about GameCube?"

You see, unlike those other two consoles, the Cube is fun right out of the box. :)
