GameCube $99 Price Drop Now Official

Michael_Blessed writes "An MCV story confirms the official GameCube price drop to $99, effective tomorrow. Strangely, this brings it to a similar pricepoint as the GameBoy Advance..." There's an official press release over at Yahoo which clarifies that the deal includes no bundled games, but "opens an $80 price advantage over its two console competitors", and quotes NOA President, George Harrison, as saying "So far in 2003, Nintendo GameCube is the only home console showing an increase in unit sales compared to 2002." We reported on Amazon's ahead-of-time price drop yesterday.

Should have cut the game prices instead by HotNeedleOfInquiry · 2003-09-24 06:00 · Score: 4, Insightful

A $99 console is nice, but it still doesn't mean market share when the games are $40 each.
