A new Nintendo earnings release. Sales figures are on the last page.

19.31 million GameCubes sold by the end of September. I don't know if that includes Panasonic Q sales.

Decent sales figures for a diappointing console. I'm guessing they've made a tidy profit.

I'm a big Nintendo fan but their Gamecube versions of games have haven't lived up to N64 versions, eg

Mario 64 - Mario Sunshine
Zelda Ocarina - Zelda Windwaker
1080 Snowboarding
Mario Kart
etc

I'm hoping the reason is they've been concentrating on the Revolution. Can't wait to get my mitts on one

Also, I've got high hopes for Zelda Twighlight princess.

Well they've made losses mainly due to the GC hardware, but hopefully that will turn around with the Revo!
