Nintendo’s fortunes continue to be up and down after GameCube stocks drop low in America…

Nintendoâ??s â??up-and-downâ?? fortunes were today lifted with the announcement that stocks of the GameCube are nearly sold out across America, as the format continues to go from strength to strength in that region.

Itâ??s a completely contrasting story to the failure of the GameCube in Europe, and comes after Nintendo had to stop production of the format last year due to slack demand and excessive inventory.

Nintendo spokeswoman, Perrin Kaplan confirmed to Reuters that â??about 50% of stores are currently sold outâ? and that they are doing everything possible to restock shop shelves from other territories.

Kaplan added that hardware sales across January were up by 60% compared to the same period last year, whilst software sales increased by a mighty 101% during the same period.
