This was mean to be happening next week but somebody forogt to tell Nintendo. Specific details regarding Cube Online inside...
Nintendo surprised everybody today by announcing its online plans for the GameCube. Expected to be announced at E3, Nintendo today announced that they would release a modem and broadband connector in the US, both retailing for $34.95. <br /> <br /> The first game that will be available for the online play will be Sega’s Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II, which is scheduled for release in the Autumn/Fall. Nintendo stated that it plans to concentrate on offline gaming, but realised that there is a market for online titles and will defer royalty fees from third-party publishers who produce online content for the GameCube. <br /> <br /> “Nintendo is known for great gaming and our first priority is to continue that legacy,” explains Satoru Iwata, director, corporate planning, Nintendo Co. Ltd. “Game content developed with that sole mission will enhance the joy of video gaming.” <br /> <br /> ”The profitable part of the online business is very likely several years away. Entering the business because it's the hot topic of the day doesn’t make a profitable business nor satisfied customers,” Iwata adds. “That’s why it will be a part of Nintendo’s strategy, not the mainstay, as other companies are attempting to do. There still are too many barriers for any company to greatly depend on it.” <br /> <br /> Nintendo currently is making software development kits available to developers worldwide. <br /> <br /> ”We understand the strong appeal of online gaming to a select group of video game players, and indeed, it’s one way to increase their satisfaction in exploring new types gaming,” says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. “To make online more appealing to the rest of the game-playing population, we’re taking concrete steps to aid our development partners in overcoming some of the inherent technical and financial obstacles to successful online games.” <br /> <br /> No word yet on whether a similar move will happen in Europe, however we’ll keep you up-to-date. <br />

so are they gonna be selling a new ps2 console

it's time when people stop buying it imo.
they'd be stupid to automatically presume if they stopped selling ps2s they'd get more people buying ps3s.
nobody who wants a ps3 will go into a shop and buy a ps2 instead just cuz it's cheaper or something.

Time to pull the plug and focus on the PS3 more. More people would buy PS3s if a PS2 was not available.
It is time, Sony.

ps3' world wide sales arnt 38 million its more close to 33 million the 360 is at 37 million not 39 but who gives a crap the 360 has reached its peak this time next year microsoft will pull the plug on the 360 when they release details of there next console only no one will buy it apart from fanboys and mirosoft's failed IT students
and in the comment below yours i dont see any thing about the 360 over taking the ps3 or how long it will last besides thats its nearly 2 years ago since that was posted, you seriously need to loose that fanboy image as its all over you. no one who actually plays games gives a crap weather it sells more than 360, sonys not going to pull the plug on ps3 so why you so obsesed about sales or adding stupid comments like inferiour pc conversions as there on ps3 aswell (is far cry in inferiour pc game or crysis ect) no thought not.
go back to gaming and let sony worry about console sales well actually its shareholders unless your gonna be a crybaby and post a stupid reply that only a fanboy would care about.

lol anon. ps3 worldwide sales = 38million. 360 worldwide sales = 39 million. the 360 is a year older. and after 2 years of paying for live is more expensive than ps3. the ps3 2010 exclusive list is absolutely killer and blu-rays have really taken off! you're in a dreamworld if you think the 360 will last over the next 2 years, let alone trounce the ps3 like you're suggesting! but enjoy your smaller more inferior pc ports this year, wont you?! xx

This is their peak because of MGS4, Halo 3 did the same thing but in much larger numbers. 360 has a sick holiday lineup and they will cut the price by a hundred bucks. Then theres the new Xbox Live with Netflix and possibly a FREE Xbox Live by then. Resistance isn't enough to stop it.

simply a waste of tym! why do i get the feeling that sony is feeling a bit left out ths x-mas and ths is one of their tricks to get attention. (yawn)
