Interesting picture. But good news for Ninty, looks like the price cut is paying off, and with the zelda disc included its a great thing Ninty is doing. But I wonder how the longterm outlook is.....

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Pff I'm sure Nintendo is doing terrible here in Holland/Europe. We see PS2 and XB ads every 15 minutes on MTV, and only a stupid commercial for Medal of Honor for the GC. And it's not even exclusive! :rolleyes:

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Oh yhea? And what are those games for the PS2 and XB?

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Ratchet and Clank 2, Need for Sped Underground, XB Live and some more that I can't remember.

R&C2 ad rulez BTW! :D

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Sony Computer Entertainment has the best advertising...the Ratchet and Clank commercials are hilarious, as is the online SOCOM 2 commercial.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Actually, as I recall, X-Box was doing quite poor in Europe (relative to Nintendo and particularly Sony). But if anybody has the actual figures please post them. I definately could be wrong.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

(I'm not picking on you but) why do people call the system 'X-Box'? The name is 'Xbox' not 'X-Box'. That is as weird as saying 'Game-Cube' or 'Play-Station'

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Bad habit I've gotten into, I suppose. I do it almost without thinking. A lot of early reports about the "Xbox" reported it as the "X-Box". So, when I used to talk about it on the forums (specifically in the days of NDose), that was how it was frequently reffered to. So I just kinda got into it, and never got out of it.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Glad to see Nintendo is 'back in the game' and number 1! :) I think Mario Kart definately had some influence and I bet the Warppipe Project also sold a percentage of November Gamecubes.

On a sidenote, X-Box or Xbox (whatever you choose) is a very stupid name. For lack of creativity, I'm afraid I can't grant this console's name any mercy.

Microsoft's Console Name Rating:

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Yes, what does the "X" stand for anyway? I think its a rather silly name.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

You're mistaken. Xbox has had very strong sales in Europe. The Gamecube has had a hard time selling. I won't post a link because I'm too lazy, so you'll have to take my word on it.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Xbox sounds better than Gamecube, Gameboy, and Playstation imo :unsure:

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

youre crazy

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

Hey, we already knew that... :p

I really really want to know the sales figures of Europe...

And Nintendo better start advertising NOW, with Mario Kart, 1080 (all the other snowboarders have ads), Mario Party 5, and perhaps Final Fanstasy CC. :mad:
They used to have those cool ads where they show upcoming games in a row... with cool music and stuff. Those were very good, we wants them back!

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

I saw the NA commercial for 1080 the other day. I thought it was Amped 2 until I saw the Gamecube Logo. O_O Looks really nice.

Re: Nintendo Got All the Turkey
 

*is dying to get 1080*
I have to wait so I can get a 6 euro discount. :) I'll probably be the first one to get it here anyway. :p
The IGN review wasn't too positive. They say the sense of speed is awesome, but that the tracks are too short and there aren't enough avalanches. Bad trick system, comparing...
