Gamecube was a HUGE flop here. The Wii actually has a lot of support, and is forcing companies to re-include Nintendo products (i.e. video stores never used to rent out Ninty games - GC titles got dropped pretty quickly).
Some other general observations:
- based on retail catalogs, many stores aren't advertising the PS3 at all. I think the price is still out of range, and its a "next-year" product. Some also skip the 360.
- my local EB (Camberwell) recently reshuffled their shelves. The Wii + DS now occupy the front half the store (on one side), with the 360/PS3 on the other. The PS3 has a pretty small display area - the Wii is more than double the size. The PSP has now been moved to the back, to make more space for DS/Wii.
- PS2 still selling real sell, based on the amount of CHEAP software out. Traded in titles are available for $15-$20 (3 for $50, etc..) - same applies to the XBOX. I'd be surprised if they were selling ANY/much NEW software for the PS2 (just all 2nd-hand titles).
