Nintendo today slashed the recommended retail price in Europe for the upcoming Gamecube. It was going to be €249: now it will be €199, or £129 if you"re in the UK, when the next-gen games console launches on the continent.
Last week, Microsoft marked down the Xbox in Europe, in response to poor sale. But it still costs £199 in the UK, and €249 in the Eurozone.
Nintendo is not prepared to let Microsoft steal any price thunder, and neither, we guess, will Sony:
Playstation 2 prices surely won"t stand still after this?
