Don\'t worry, you\'ll see a huge spike in Gamecube sales when these games are released. That\'s the way it always is, the Japannesse aren\'t going to buy a console based on the games that will come out eventually, they\'ll buy it based on what they can get at the moment. Makes sense if you ask me. Why would you want to buy a GC only to have it collect dust until the games you want come out? Hell, if you\'re lucky and patient there might even be a price drop before Zelda and Resident Evil come out.

GameCube sales are sour right now due to the last worthwhile game being released in March.. :)
Worthwhile to the Japanese, anyway. They don\'t like American franchises, and they didn\'t like the RPG Rune..
Sales-wise, anyway. Rune has only sold 25-30K..
