so hier eine Zusammenfassung der angeblichen live Videostreams am Montag den 28.01.02. Leider ist das eingetreten was nur die pessimistichsten Xler vorhergesagt haben, aber es ist wahr. Lest selber:
More than 20 games, one million GameCubes. 50 titles by summer. Oh, what the hey, here´s the juice from Computerandvideogames.com:
---------------------------------------------
Let the party begin! Full Gamecube launch details revealed
inside!
17:43 The speculation has ended. We can now reveal that on
Monday, January 28, Nintendo will announce the release date for
Gamecube as May 3, 2002 at 249 Euros, which is a staggering
£150 - £50 less than PS2 and half the price of Microsoft's Xbox
console.
Earlier today, we received rock solid information of the details set
to be included in the speech by David Gosen, MD of Nintendo
Europe, due to be broadcast at 9am, Monday, January 28 on
http://www.nintendogamecube-europe.com. In the
seven-and-a-half-minute speech, Gosen reveals full launch
details including titles, pricing and availability. Crucially, crushing
rumours of limited units, Gosen will confirm there will be one
million units available across the continent at launch.
Gosen will state that Nintendo expects more than 20 software
titles to be available from launch day, which is the largest ever
line-up of software ever for a console launch. By the summer
there will be almost 50 titles available for Gamecube.
Titles available on launch day include Luigi's Mansion, Wave
Race, FIFA, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Batman, Crazy Taxi,
Burnout, Sonic 2 and Star Wars: Rogue Leader. Shortly after
launch, Europe will see Resident Evil, Super Smash Bros. Melee
(May 24), and Pikmin (June 14) Allow us a moment to squeal like
little girls. Waaaaaaaaaah!
Importantly, Gosen will emphasise that Gamecube is neither
aimed at kids, teens, nor adults - it is a machine that is for anyone
who enjoys the entertainment yielded by interactive gaming. It is
about attitude, not image, he will assert.
Most notable of all is the price: £150 (249 Euros) means you can
buy two Gamecubes for the price of an Xbox, and, crucially, it
undercuts PS2 by £50. Nintendo may have given Microsoft a two
month lead, but with an irresistible price point, expansive launch
line-up and confirmed date of May 3, Microsoft and Sony better
watch their backs - Gamecube's about to rock Europe.
We'll bring you a full report from the announcement early on
Monday, but in the meantime we suggest you fling open the
windows and let the whole world know: Gamecube launches on
May 3 for £150! Remember where you heard it first.
