This is inconceivable to the zoomer brain.

Fake

Consoles are supposed to get more expensive as time goes on, fake

fpbp
the people seething about this are simultaneously in denial about why its happening, its utterly hopeless
>actually it's the japs' fault for not eating the cost for the retarded policies we voted for

Nobody has ever given a shit about console prices.

>Black Friday clearance prices will never be a thing ever again

>>718670745 (OP)
Missing context: The Gamecube was a flop and shelfwarming at retail stores across america. The price drops were Nintendo of America panicking and trying whatever they could to convince people to buy it.

>>718670745 (OP)
>Included with 4 games.
>Includes the Master Quest for Oot
>And a Windwaker demo.
It was great having this.

>>718671354
It's Nintendo's best console by a wide margin

>>718671929
This is how I played majora's mask back in the day, everyone said it was a rancid dogshit port that barely functioned but I only had the game freeze on me once

>>718670940
Money printing began well before COVID, retard. We're only feeling a fraction of that yet.

It's on fire sale because it was a fucking flop.

>>718670745 (OP)
>throws some NES and N64 Zelda roms on it
PLEASE BUY

Tariffs are good actually, we'll all be rich soon and our dollar will be the strongest it's ever been! MAGA!

>>718672584
too obvious, you need to sound stupider.

Yes zoomers thats correct, you could just go flip the price flaps around and half the time with a little "rizz" as the kids say, it would work. Good times.

>>718672296
nah him and powell fucked the economy in 2020 and powell is the only one who actually learned from it

>>718671991
Look, the GameCube was around when I was 7-12 and I still preferred the N64 and Wii.

>>718672749
I remember literally buying a copy or Wario land 3 at 10€ instead of the 25€ pricetag it had. good times.

>>718670745 (OP)
The GameCube is a zoomer console thoughbeit.

>>718673534
Wii had one of the worst libraries of all time. You're just retarded

>>718670745 (OP)
This is akin to the PS4 being sold for $200 and nobody buying it.

>>718672940
A console with like 5 games on it is bad even if those games are good

>>718677380
Good thing the Gamecube has one of the best libraries of all time then

>>718670745 (OP)
And the memory card costs what 35?

>>718670745 (OP)
/v/ has fallen so bad I keep seeing people defend modern gaming prices. No I don't think its shills all the time either. I think they have just successfully brainwashed a generation to like slop.

>>718670745 (OP)
wii is better and cheaper

>>718670745 (OP)
How many years was it out to drop down that low?

>>718670745 (OP)
The GC gigaflopped. I bet you can find an xbox one for that price nowadays for comparison

>>718679268
you get a free one with animal crossing

>>718680736
pretty sure this was almost a year after the wii came out
these have to be clearance prices cause I remember the gamecube's msrp hitting as low as 99 USD before the wii released

>>718671929
It didn't include master quest

>>718678381
Do you have an image to support that claim? You can't even get past the first row of this one without spotting trash.

>>718678381
Star fox assault and adventures are bad, mario golf and tennis are sports games, jungle beat is shit, sonic adventure is shit and DX was the worst port of it, SA2B is mediocre, pokemon sucks, animal crossing is a shallow time vampire, Viewtiful Joe is a PS2 game, Resident Evil is a PS1 game, mario kart is shit, mario party is MEGA shit, pikmin is an RTS for down syndrome patients. Forgot about rogue squadron 2 that game kicks ass

>>718672051
it froze for me right after I beat majoras kek, couldnt see the credits

IT HAS A HANDLE

>>718671431
>Missing the point entirely
The console was basically a flop which is why the price dropped so quickly and so ludicrously. Consoles weren't super cheap in the day or some shit like that.

>>718673330
The economy got fucked long before that and you can thank Dubya for that.

Nowadays it's smarter to just destroy the product and use hebrew tax magic to make wagies cover your losses

>>718683758
>the extreme and obvious inflationary and housing spike in 2021 after the money supply tripled was actually george's fault
your brain on maga copium

My parents STILL bought PS2, which I didn't want, because it had a DVD player.

90s video games were so trash you could just run an ai to create some slop that outperforms >99% of it

>>718683296
It has like more than a dozen all time classic masterpieces
>Zelda Wind Waker
>Zelda Twilight Princess
>Animal Crossing
>Pikmin 1
>Pikmin 2
>Paper Mario TTYD
>Super Monkey Ball 1
>Super Monkey Ball 2
>RE4
>REmake
>Rogue Leader
>Metroid Prime 1
>Metroid Prime 2
>Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
>Smash Bros Melee

If you hate those games you just have no soul and no taste

>>718672296
Someone post it.

>>718670940
>implying build back "better" was any good either
You literally couldn't find or pay for any PS5 or Xbox series X for MSRP because there was none at the shelves and scalpers had marked them up for YEARS. It wasnt until late 2023 could you find one lying around on a shelf. Companies don't answer to any administration. They've been riding the pandemic and "muh supply chain" shit for years until the prices and scummy cost cutting practices became the new normal

>>718670745 (OP)
It's alright. Young people have been harshly conditioned to conflate consumption with their identity

>>718684816
consoles are mostly sold at a loss or very low profit margins, to say they actually don't want to get these onto shelves for people to buy so they can make money off of sale royalties is utter retardation

>>718683423
that's the re1 remake you tard, not the ps1 original

>>718671354
Custom Robo and what else?

>>718683758
I'm make it easier for you to understand. just look up Long Term Capital Management Bailout.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management

>>718684972
No but they can milk a fucking decade old console, make profit re releasing their exclusives on a different platform, introduce umpteen more subscriptions and control the entry barrier for anyone else. The console itself are just side gigs at this point which is why they dont give a fuck about the ps5 or Series X.

Its all about subscriptions now. Everything in all industries are. Making a product and selling it as a one time purchase is outdated.

>>718670940

The PS2 was at 100 million lifetime sales, while the GameCube and Xbox were in the 10 million threshold. Literally outsold 100 to 1. The genuine retarded generation, ie OP is a zoomer, saw this image on Reddit and Twitter and won't stop reposting it. Nintendo and retailers were desperate to dump the unsold stock.

That's all the modern internet has become thanks to zoomers and third world (South America, Southeast Asia, India, Eastern Europe). The same shit talked about on 4chan or else, recycled over and over. This is the 100th time this thread was made, just like the 2000s summer water threads that 4chan talked about in 2017 but "totally organically came back" with ebaumsworld I mean Reddit and Twitter taking our images to talk about 2000s water again.

I fucking loathe you man. The GameCube was never 50-150 dollars until Nintendo fully conceded the fight and were well into their Nintendo Revolution development. It launched at 250 dollars I believe and most people here did not buy it at 50 dollars.
