Dunno bout MS, but I'm going to guess that Sony is going to sit on their asses and continue to rake in the money.
As for the gamecube price drop, that's a good start! Now when they make a fourth game that I want to play on it, I might get excited!!!

Probably nothing.
MS won't lower the Xbox price until Sony does, I think. And it seems Sony it's quite happy it's current price...

Yeah theyre selling gamecubes. but they halted production simply because everyone had too many and not enough buyers.

This just made me think...
Without GC units in production and their new level of sales...would it be posible we could see shortages near the end of the year?

Good grief, I can't even come up with one title.
I found Kagami's sword in a junk yard. I will rule the world and find that truly good cup of coffee. "Dink-a-dink-a-dink-a-do."

The reason I knew the GC production was halted was that due to the low selling % they couldn't get third party developers interested with the console... If that how it is then things my change... It's for the best?
I agree that this is a really planned scheme; it looks like something I could cough up.

(Gamecube hater mode) D0n'1 you ma3n G4m3boob pr1c3s ar3 SORE?!?!?1one?! I THE FUNNYZOR!!! I haven't seen an original game worth buying on all three systems in a while. Orignal, as in not based on a show or something. Last game I bought was the new Gundam game (Meguri Sora or something?) and that's because it had Gundam written on the cover. Last great orignal games I bought were Wind Wakere and Vice City. I guess I just don't play vieo games as much anymore. Next game I plan on buying is either the Macross one or AEUG vs Titans, which ever comes first :)

Buy Disgaea because it just happens to be the greatest game ever made. Not only that, it's got enough gameplay to last a decade.

I bought a gamecube for Ikaruga, I think the system lacks most good games, but it still has promise. I'm definantly getting Wario Ware and MGS: TS, and that new Naruto game looks fun too.

Any chance Disagea (sp?) will ever come to the GC? Doubt it. I almost bought a PS2 just for that game. Dang.

Nippon Ichi is too busy working on their next game to do any porting, so no. Buy a PS2 for it now and you should be done with it by the time Phantom Brave comes out in the US. If you like SRPGs at all it is easily worth buying a PS2 for.
highlandcattle - I know what games are out or coming to the GC, but none of them pose any interest to me at all. I'm not saying they're bad games or anything, just ones I don't have any desire to play.
