The console is dirt cheap even when bought new and so are the games. Now I've been youtubing and a lot of the Elite gamers who still have a thing for Nintendo say how much fun and how great the games are.
So you've got a cheap console with fantastic games which are also cheap so why on earth dosn't it sell that well in europe are people really that brain dead they fall for marketing over quality or am I missing something?
The whole it's only aimed at young kids holds no water and even if some of the games are what dose that matter if those games bring great pleasure. Take Mario 64 which was on the Nintendo 64 you could say that was aimed at kids but that didn't stop parts of the game being a real challenge and extremely fun and entertaining.
I find it funny when watching some vids people of made of the GameCube and you'll get other people with the same game saying how much fun they had with that certain game and you'll get some other idiot going "shut the chuck up GameCube suck eggs" <(edited alittle but you get the picture) that's a tipical Playstation owner comment.
I as you prob know from my posts in other threads I just got myself a GameCube as I just thought the prices of the games and console are to good to be true I at to take advantage of it.
I'm confused it realy just seems a lot off people are either only got into gaming around the late 90s or are simply biting their nose off to spite there face either way just like those that didn't buy a Dreamcast and let the console die off it's likely their loss.

(The more players, the more fun in my experience!)
We almost bought a 2nd hand one recently but then decided to just wait for the wii instead. I'd rather spend money on DS games right now anyway. We'll definitely be buying a GC at some point tho - just from a collecting point of view. Between me and the missus we have a SNES, N64, Gameboy, GBA and a DS, and will be pre-ordering a wii as soon as we can!
