Since the 360 is so great, does this mean that the GCN must be the ultimate console? I say yes!

Well think about it ginjirou.
If GC cost around 500 kr here,and then they have a lot cheaper price tags in Japan.
Then what do you think?!
Heck even i would buy some extra gc then.

The price is part of the product, I mean we dislike the PS3 much because of its price so... is GCN the ultimate console? I say yes!

Nah,it' s just that in Japan they doesnt like american products and isn' t to sure about 360 yet.

But nintendo is nintendo...
And i can only guess how cheap it must be ...

Its not becuase japanese people dislike Xbox,there is no much japanese RPG games on it,but Blue Dragon and Lost Odissey will change that for sure,japanese people are more impressed with great gameplay rather than amazing graphics.
There a lot of great upcoming japanese games for X360 and i think thats a really good thing because thats the only way for Xbox to compete with Sony,if the games are good selling in japan,people will like it in whole world.

You see people always have an excause for the xbox brand not selling in japan apart from reality the main one being a lack of rpgs right but after blue dragon and lost odyssey comes out i' ll love to see what other excauses arise.

I have got a feelin that even if the x360 gets a few good rpgs , it isnt goin to do well in japan .. The mindset of ppl in japan is so fucked up they would prefer a japanese product over an american one .. I mnot sayin that GC sucks or anything , but i dont see how a 5 yr old console outsells a next gen console ...

Dasher,don' t you think japanese people need to save up for ps3?
I mean its very expensive even in Japan.
I think they feel ps3 is a safe bet,that is how the avg gamer think.
I hope BD/LO will sell many 360' s but who knows.
Atleast those games might make future japanese gamers dare to take a chance.

..nope... ...that still belongs to PS2 which according to your article, destroyed both (again).....


...what do you think are the chances of PS2 out-selling Wii this Christmas?...

Good one.

Yes,ps2 probably will outsell wii also.
Remember xbox sold more then GC worldwide.

I have got a feelin that even if the x360 gets a few good rpgs , it isnt goin to do well in japan ..

I agree with that. Unless the RPG is a major exclusive like the next big Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, then even if the 360 got other great RPGs I still don' t see it selling well in Japan..

but i dont see how a 5 yr old console outsells a next gen console ...

Some people were wondering the same thing when the PSOne was consistently outselling the Dreamcast in Japan

Well,it doesn' t matter so much if 360 doesn' t sell over there.
MS is doing their best,they keep delivering titles and hire dev,and hopefully at TGS we will see the new " tri-ace" rpg.
And more of trusty bell...

I' m very surprised that the GCN is outselling the 360. Even though the GCN is cheap I thought you' d rather save money for a new cool console than spend less on a old. And with the Wii coming soon I' m surprised that even one single Gamecube is sold.

Surely everybody who wants a Gamecube in Japan has one. Must be cause of all those faulty units...

...what do you think are the chances of PS2 out-selling Wii this Christmas?...

Depends on if Nintendo keeps their word on product allocation. If each store gets fifty or so consoles, then I don' t see why PS2 would do better. I' d use reason and say that Wii will be hours old, and ps2 almost seven, but reason doesn' t really apply to console sales now does it?

My GC has hung itself one time.

Its a very safe/good working console.

well after Super Paper Mario got shifted to Wii! there is not reason to get any more cubes!

Super Paper Mario
Zelda Twilight Princess (unless you' re getting a Wii)
Baten Kaitos Origins
And then it' ll be the end of the Gameccube.
But did you buy all the other amazing titles before those three games?

Ginjirou now i " hate" you,where the fuck is " Tales of Symphonia" ????

ANyway Baten Kaitos is quite good also.
Im gonna get the sequal.

The second I saw that you had replied I KNEW that it was going to be about ToS! I promise, I really did!
