That's exactly the point. After RE 0 (Sonic Mega collection and SMB2 too!), Nintendo will release Metroid Prime, which comes out in a matter of days now, and then Zelda in just over a month later. This should give the GC alot of momentum over the next coming months.
From the European Xbox release I've seen, there's nothing MS has to combat these two titles. MGS:S lost out to RE 0, and I don't think Panzer Dragoon has enough appeal in Europe to combat Metroid Prime. Then there is Zelda. Now with the competing retailers dropping the price of the Cube to £99 with a free game (to combat Dixons offer), Cube sales are definately going to pick up.
It will be an interesting year.
