What the fuck!How?
3 years after the console launch, that's how
>>741881194Kino.
>>741881194We bought 2x of that deal to have a GC at both of our houses. Kino childhood. I also had two different colored GBA's but fucking Mexican kids stole one from my friend who was playing Sapphire version with me at the library while I played Ruby version. Friend (also mexican, the worthless cunt) looked at me all shocked and didn't do shit, when I went to chase the kid who ran off with my spare GBA another mexican kid came up behind me and tripped me, the two feral animal children getting away with my fucking GBA.
>>741881194Desperation. You don't get deals like this from companies in a stable market position.
>>741881194No one was buying GameCube.
The economy wasn't liquid shit yet
>>741881194When Nintendo is struggling in sales they are very generousWhen they've had good sales they get obnoxiously greedy
>>741881194GC sales were on par with the already dead Dreamcast, and were way behind PS2 & Xbox.
Life was better than then.
>>74188119499 dollars in 2004 is 1000 dollars in 2026
>>741881194Nintendo was financially in a worse position then and was more desperate. Also tech in general used to actually go down in price as time went on.
>>741881374yeah now a console can be 6 years old and they'll increase the price instead
Imagine having a deal like this today. We would never. This wasn't even like what, 2 years after the Gamecube came out too?
>>741881374I don't see PS5 being sold for $200.
>>741881374Then it should've been at least $499.
>>741890939fr and this was hardware that was as powerful as a high tier gaming pc at the time
>>741881951No company should ever feel themselves to be in a stable market position.
>>741881194The GameCube flopped and they practically had to give them away for free.
