EU Cube sales!!
 
It's officially known that in the UK Nintendo sold 75.000 Cubes in the first 2 days. Now EA says that Nintendo have sold 400.000 Cubes in Europe!!! Now that's impressing! We're waiting for Nintendo to confirm it.

I've noticed that in my town, only 2 out of (about) 45 Cubes were left last wednesday. I know I know, my town doesn't mean anything!!! But still... :D:D

If you listen to the "archived event audio", apparently you can hear it. Click here

I didn't have the patience to listen to the whole thing...

Xantar, it's 10 minutes into the archived audio event.

It's official! http://www.cube-europe.com/news/102137077967311.html
400.000 Cubes sold! Gamers bought an average of 2,3 games with it! The average age of the buyers is 23! (??)

Cool! :cool:

That should shut a few people up. And maybe Konami will also see that Nintendo does not only have a lower aged fan base :D.

I was wondering... a lot of old people will have bought the Cube for their kids... so the average isn't really reliable I think...

One could argue that a lot of young people bought Gamecubes for their parents :D

Oh sure. It's the perfect Mother's Day present.

"Happy Mother's Day, mom!"

"Oh, that's so sweet! You got me a purse!"

"Um...no, not exactly..."

*runs away from enraged Nintendo fanboys*

:D

Where exactly do they get this info? Does the clerk at the cashier have a little hidden chart where he marks down the age of the buyer based on his judgement? I've just always wondered about these things.

Unless everyone fills out the little survey and sends it in to Nintendo...

Nintendo VIP. A site where you could register your Cube. I don't think a lot of kids would register, another factor why the average isn't reliable. :unsure:
