Wii, Nintendo has officially phased out the production of its GameCube.Wii has been enjoying such a successful holiday season that everybody's forgotten about its little brother, GameCube. Now comes word from the big guys that Nintendo Wii is here to stay, and production on GameCube has come to a close.
"Are we producing any more GameCubes? No," Nintendo of America's vice president of marketing and corporate affairs Perrin Kaplin confessed in an interview with GameDaily. "But do we have the inventory there for people to still purchase? Yes."
"Just like the PS2 sold really well this past holiday, GameCube is a great starter system - price, ease, games. Every one of the consoles has had its cycle and every single one of them has become a great starter system at the last leg of its cycle, and that's where it's at."
