Disastrous GameCube sales in the company's first fiscal quarter, combined with the threat of losing retail shelf space, could prompt the company to knock $50 off the $149 console earlier than anyone expects.

 

"We're expecting the GameCube price to drop to $99 sometime in September," said Mike Wallace of UBS Warburg. "We're also expecting the Xbox and PlayStation 2 to fall to $149 by the end of September."

 

Nintendo's previous attempts to spark sales -- including bundling free games and hardware with the console -- have run their course. Retailers are starting to pressure the company to lower prices or face the risk of reduced shelf space, which would further dampen sales.

 

Meanwhile, third-party software publishers have made it clear in recent conference calls that they, too, would very much like to see hardware prices on all consoles come down soon.
