GameCube North American Sales Figures Revealed
Nintendo discloses how successful the price cut has been.
October 03, 2003 - Yesterday, it was reported that sales of the GameCube had quadrupled since the price cut to $99. Following from that news, Nintendo has now released the official sales figures in the hope of proving how successful their new strategy has been.
In the week following the price cut, Nintendo said it sold 61,000 consoles, up from weekly average sales of 15,000 during August and September. Nintendo´s senior vice president of marketing, George Harrison, believes this figure is sustainable throughout the holiday season, and cites the introduction of over 100 new games before the end of this year as a major factor in that belief.
