Perhaps statements from Perrin Kaplan should be verified more strenuously before we publish them.
Kaplan's latest statement led us to pronounce the GameCube dead because she said Nintendo was not producing any more GameCubes. However, when GamesIndustry.biz sought comment from Nintendo UK, they got a different story. "I can confirm that globally, Nintendo is still continuing production of GameCube hardware and GameCube software," a spokesperson from Nintendo UK told the site.
GamesIndustry.biz notes that GameCube software, at least, has enjoyed a resurgence in sales thanks to Wii, which is backwards-compatible with GameCube software.
