here's the link:Nintendo Cuts Its GameCube Price
by ANTHONY BREZNICAN
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Nintendo of America announced Monday it will cut the price of its GameCube video game system by $50 to $149, the latest shot in the ongoing console war that includes Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox.
Nintendo's new price, effective Tuesday, followed drops last week in the consumer cost of its two rival systems. Playstation 2 and Xbox were both selling for $299 before separate announcements that the companies were reducing the prices to $199.
GameCube previously undercut the other two by $100, and company officials said keeping the price low is a key part of attracting new consumers.
"Our goal is to get as many hardware units out there as possible so we can sell software against a bigger installed base," said Nintendo marketing executive George Harrison. "This year, it's going to be a battle of software."
