Xbox pushes Cube back into third place.
by Kristan Reed
GameCube's much-publicised recovery has slowed already according to the latest set of ChartTrack hardware figures which reveal that Xbox has once again overtaken Nintendo's console.
Microsoft's decision to be patient on pricing appears to have paid off, after its value-added £139.99 bundle (featuring Halo (http://itxt.vibrantmedia.com/al.asp?ipid=63&cc=us&di=57207&ts=6708491&redir=http://www5.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=02u3hs9yoaUVVuySDD%2FBT4muNoxi1UB4t5VRKtST3EhORNiCoaxW9K2H6qn3yrTQiq3iFvMJgYv%2FGt2Hhr%2B8UtT l60GvJrI76brJ5A7K1hg8RMNla0Rv9vYQ%2B%2BU%2F0ocnOKrZ403L4%2FdKQVn8rR71kpdyEg1g4AUDnlQzuI3bSh4bQfI1rGs w0wBAckkkvgS8BcFXdBs4CUc8cLQYd27YOW1x3VV4Cc2Y0WmpN%2BG7LQE6Ghb3m2Pixbnb81doGXE5RqE1ymSqCAaA2vpO%2FZG p2KEHADzQM%2F5Q9dFxlsRSSjgE6JjI64VlFBxM5GaqQkuZiTFbucfPRg1N4cdFnmK%2FEHg8X%2BhBPyERRwvjgij0m0PnSS9oB VEP3Y2ZELslFrtsg%2FYGISzo4HJ%2B0TeEn4pRzWNi6BWscQuicNGWiMGyjdYwyo8L12Lkv1XYYwTl1kbGZ6Bmg37qhhLZ8%3D) , Midtown Madness 3 and a two month Xbox Live (http://itxt.vibrantmedia.com/al.asp?ipid=63&cc=us&di=42819&ts=6708491&redir=http://www5.overture.com/d/sr/?xargs=02u3hs9yoakFVuzSDDhBAlX3CXZKnrAQ4%2FsqhY4i3K3odjLYpIG2JjF7yHCX1VabV11afmaF2bm%2F9Wzer3O2qUIcq NJuXZ27kabvbmSfnPpv13HuVjah6MLxt%2FpvQ09o0f4VSpNNX7kzgSRxjAxwnqCSk52jBQOEvUMU53Ok3W8sqLTejAJUbXdXH61 2i55V1Sdbp%2FcI7FrLRcCwZB8dWzUNXmxIwElgTnQCjMFsm7X0xgPJ7tO1h%2FH0hxQXEm8qynoazZoiHrV%2F6T9aHyxUeccSy mYqFljHIpGaefgqB8dOVRDppJJLDfw7HlumM%3D) trial) sent sales of the Xbox soaring by 81 per cent week on week, and overtaking the Cube in the process, after just one week of being outsold.
GameCube sales dropped by an alarming 20 per cent week on week, despite heavy TV advertising and a £50 advantage on the competition, but the good news for Nintendo is that since the price cut sales are still running at an average of seven times the level they were at previously.
And with F-Zero GX, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and 1080 Avalanche still to come, and the Player's Choice range providing excellent value on some genuinely triple-A titles, there's every chance the pendulum will swing back Nintendo's way - especially if retailers decide to throw in other free extras as GAME has done with its new Xbox bundle, which features another two free titles in addition to Microsoft's own.

Although Nokia hates this comparison, the Game Boy Advance continues to sell incredibly well in the UK, selling at a ratio of over 50 to one more than N-Gage, and increasing its performance on last week by another 25 per cent.
The PS2, meanwhile, thrashes all of them, selling three per cent more than last week, which equates to more than four to one over the Xbox, more than five to one over the Cube, and nearly two and a half to one over the Game Boy Advance. For hilarity's sake, we worked out that the PS2 is outselling the N-Gage by over 125 to one in game retailers.
كنت أعتقد مع نهاية العام الكيوب سيحتل المركز الثاني وبفارق لابأس به....
I guess i was proven wrong :D
