Nintendo officially ends Gamecube support
The new Nintendo console - the Wii - has been a huge sucess. A big selling point has been the fact that it can play Gamecube games. A Nintendo spokesperson has now mentioned that the Gamecube is no longer produced and that there are no more games in developement for the console. This also explains the diminishing selection of games and hardware at retailers. The remaining consoles will be sold to first time buyers until they are all gone.
UPDATE: Seems like Eurogamer has gotten confirmation from Nintendo UK that Gamecube support has not been axed. Catch up on all the details here at Eurogamer.

Also you can attach 4 GC Controllers to the Wii.
I really couldn't care less for the GC. The Nintendo console I dislike most.
The Xbox is the most powerfull console of the last generation and has great games. It still only sold a 4th of the consoles that the PS2 has.
It has very little users, the Wii can play all its games, and the friggin controller is just whacked to hell. In my opinion of course. Unlike the PS2, it deserves to be laid to rest now.
