In the fair city I live near I have 3 GAME stores. All of them are reasonable sizes. In the last month I have noticed that the Gamecube section in 2 of the 3 has drastically reduced. In the case of the oldest store the Gamecube section is now reduced to 1 wall section of half shelfs at the very back to the side. I'm aware that the Gamecube is not selling that well in the Uk but bloody hell, this is getting really bad - even the pre-owned Gamecube games have been moved to under the display basket and placed nearly out of view. All I can say is thumbs up to Gamestation who have opened a brand new store in the high street. It has about a whole third of the ground floor devoted to Nintendo with a masive array of Pre-owned Gamecube games (YAY).
Does this look like an advert to you? Well blame GAME for that.

Well... working for GAME... i can tell you the Gamecube state makes me sick!
Rearranging the store for christmas layout, the GC section has been reduced to 2 bays. In the back corner of the shop! Now however theyve changed it once again n moved it to the front of the store which is even better, but the way GC gets treted by GAME really is stupid. Our store is really tiny, but the amount of space it has compared to Xbox n PS2 is shocking!

The GAME in my town is small, and the GC section used to be the biggest taking up for collumns of shelves, the next to that all the GB stuff. It was bigger than the Xbox section by far, now its just one collum for the games and one for the console bundles and a thirds for GB stuff, and its been demoted to the very back of the store. Shame realy.

Yes, it's happened to my store aswell, 3 shelves in the back corner. Ah well, their eventual loss.
