Which is a detracting factor for older, core gamers with patience and memory looking for a secondary console. While riding some launch hype that rolled over from the Wii. |
The Gamecube price-cut to $99 was a little more than 22 months after launch. (November 18, 2001 - September 24, 2003)
Though the PS2 was on average only ~$54 more expensive than the Gamecube throughout it's lifespan.
