Nintendo of Europe has confirmed to us that well over 40,000 GameCube units have been pre-ordered in the UK, as of early last week.
This healthy figure is reflective of the buzz that Nintendo has managed to create around its new machine, with many gamers exhibiting startling levels of excitement around the launch.
A figure of 50,000 pre-ordered units is now widely believed to be true for the UK, with levels rocketing as launch nears and the new price point of £129 tempts the country’s gaming community.
Boasting what is arguably the best launch line-up ever seen for a home console, and at an unparalleled price, it looks like Nintendo is going to easily carve out a market share for itself.
GameCube launches this Friday. Stay tuned for full coverage.
