GameCube Demand Spiking in U.S.?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday March 2, 2004 @12:04AM from the return-of-the-mack dept.

LlamaRama writes "Reuters reports that Nintendo has nearly sold out of GameCubes in the United States, with Nintendo spokeswoman Perrin Kaplan explaining: 'Store shelves are just running very dry... I'd say about 50 percent of our stores are out.' Seems like the holiday rush on GameCube might last a few months past December!" Kaplan also indicated that "...January hardware sales were up 60 percent year-over-year, while January software sales were up 101 percent" following last year's GameCube price cut to $99, though it's unclear how these increased totals compare with current PlayStation 2 and Xbox sales.

Or it could just be they sell so poorly that places are not restocking them.

What's so great about it?

That's meant as a question, not a troll. Really, what does the 'Cube offer?
