is it just me or is nintendo losing the console wars in Australia? I think they need to get their arses into gear and start advertising!!!!!!!!

Is it really so bad down in Australia? If I were in charge of PR, I would, as you say, "get their arses in gear". But, hopefully with the sales of Metroid Prime, Zelda, Soul Calibur etc, then it may pick up once more. Also, the president of Nintendo himself hinted at a price reduction as they were 2 million consoles of target last year.

But, now it's been released in all regions and so they have a full year and more to come to show the world what they can do.

with SMS doing so poorly i would say Nintendo need to focus on Link, Samus and Kirby more.
Link is probably nintendos main character now but Mario is still Mr Nintendo.

what is selling most in australia? xbox or ps2?

LOL. I would'nt worry Australia is only 2% of Ninty's profits anyway. But sadly, yeah GC is doing pretty $### there. Smilie

I don't know why. Apparently, MS did a really good XBOX deal there, which boosted sales a lot.

Just wait till Metroid and Zelda come out, then you'll see!

Yes, and a recent interview with the president of Nintendo also hinted at a price reduction, but how low can you go? I mean the GC is probably the cheapest, money wise, console to be released across the world.

methinks it will be 99.99 worldwide soon


Yeah, I think they do have it in a majority of countries, except China due to piracy. Smilie

yeah a game would be cool

You have to admit though, who cares how its selling when you're getting games from what is the equivelent of

Don't worry Ninty have it under control I think so they won't fall trust me. Smilie

"I'm very important. Just because I look simple"

I think for a limited time in the US, you get a FREE game with your purchase of the GC, cool, and I hope that deal arrives over here. Anyhow, there was this decent one for

Yeah, I have heard from pretty reliable sources that the free game with a cube is true. The yankz will have the choice of Starfox, Mario Party 4, Zelda (dig that), Metroid and some other sweet game.. I think it might be Resident Evil Zero.
It has been a tough time for nintendo, but theve been through alot and have the most experiance, so I am fairly sure that Ninty will be able to hold out for some time yet. It also seems Sony and Microsoft are here to stay too, so it looks like they will have to.
Nintendo did make a few vital mistakes for the christmas period... thier wors mistake being that they kinda forgot about europe! They should have got Resi Zero and Metroid ova here for christmas.. and they should have released Zelda almost simultaniously over the world.
I suppose not being in controll its easy to critisice though. Still, even if the GC fails, Ninty will still have the GBA to fall back on.. which does kick ass..

www.freewebs.com/utah -Go on ... check it out.

yes aparently it is extremely bad in australia...

it used to be nobody wanted to hear anything of the xbox and lots of ps2 and GC

but now the table has turned... xbox isn't selling as much as GC used to be in ausi, but it's still beating the GC

does anyone reckon that nintendo might go the same way as sega? Smilie

I don't think they will go the same way as sega, they failed with the mega cd 1+2, then the saturn + the dreamcast. nintendo are 2nd worldwide at the moment.

I was thinking about nintendo's advertising regards to the UK, i have a big pile of GC stuff mags by woolworths/HMV/ large leaflet issued by nintendo, i also have a set of postcards for the cube( cant find these at the moment) a mario sunshine leaflet(all the phone boxes in leeds had large stickers on the windows too) and the free cd rom that came out last year. also i have seen loads of buses decked out with ninty pictures, so they are trying.

But in not releasing animal crossing in the uk is a massive mistake, we all know it would be huge(even my other half is looking forward to playing it and she hates gaming) just imagine the merchandise they could release to cash in on it(have a look at ebay there is some cool stuff out) students would go mad on this kind of stuff.

they just dont have there fingers on the pulse at the moment, heres hoping things will change.

When you cycled by

Here began all my dreams

The saddest thing I�ve ever seen

And you never knew

How much I really liked you

Because I never even told you

Oh, and I meant to



Are you still there ?

Or ... have you moved away ?

Or have you moved away ?

True, But Nintendo still need more tv exposure, and stop making these crap adverts. If it were up to me, id parody myself, such as say a suburban american family scene
Mom: Isnt the Nintendo great, it has so many wonderfull games, that my little 1, 4, 7, years old can play, and with no bad games in site, its a perfect gift for kids

Dad: Yup thats right, nintendo are for kids

Then have a kid bring home resident evil, eternal darkness, metroid prime, resident evil 4, 1080, and then cue to the capcom games that will be out soon

That Natalie Portman!! My future wife.

i like the idea .nintendo have had a few ads like the starfox ad but not enough.
i reckon over the year i saw about 3 different nintendo ads. that is redicolouse.

dos anyone think nintendo will go the same way as sega???

yes, as a matter of fact i unfortunitly do think nintendo will go the same way as sega, hopefully they will concentrate on 1 console tho so i don't have to buy like 3 consoles every 5 years

Does it really matter, aslong as theyre selling over here (and they are). Also that they keep making games. Who cares what the figures on the other side of the world say?
