Reminds me of "GameCube momentum" in 2003...

The Gamecube had momentum in 2003? Since when? When did the Gamecube ever outsell the PS2? Did it ever outsell the Xbox?

All serious questions.

Yes.  Gamecube outsold it for a bit in 2003 after it's pricedrop.

Edit: I'm surprised as you are.  I just googled it.

What ? I laughed very hard now!  Reminds you of "GameCube momentum"? LOL!

"Gamecube momentum" - price $99,00

PS3 momentum - price $299,00

Gamecube was dying when they achieved that "momentum". It was Nintendo's desperate measure. There isn't any kind of relation to what is PS3 now. Go study game history.

Er.  Gamecube started off cheaper then the PS3... it started off at like... 150.00... I think?  I don't know.  I got mine for Christmas at launch... and I didn't even want it.  My parents just assumed i would.

Had a couple games that were worth it though...

 

So of course when it cuts price it will be cheaper.

The PS3 pricecut actually seems more desperate and "dieing" since i'm pretty sure Nintendo still made money on the $99 lunchbox.  Where sony has yet to turn a profit on the PS3.

 

The prices are more analogus then you think due to cost.  I'd be surprised if PS3 was ever $99 retail.
