Reports from America this morning are stating that the GameCube Game Boy Player will only available in the colour black, not the platinum, spice orange and purple options enjoyed by the Japanese.
We can’t help but think that this is entirely wrong. Nintendo, the firm that invented up-selling and cross-selling in the videogames industry, surely wouldn’t have lost its business acumen to the point where it would alienate the majority of GameCube owners in the west.
We put the case to Nintendo Europe who should report back soon.
