the ign article talks about how ea has delayed a couple games for xbox and ps2 so that they could launch the cube version at the same time. i dont even know what to think about that, but i respect ea for doing that. it seems that they have gotten close to nintendo lately.
the cube-europe article talks about sales jump for the gc in the uk after the free game deal started. it doesnt have numbers, but supposedly things are picking up.
it appears that the gc is gaining support and momentum, hopefully this can lead to better things the nintendo future.

Still it's nice to see all three versions come out at the same time. Nintendo's deal with EA may have been the cause of this decision but I wouldn't be surprised if EA just realized that by staggering the release dates they were just sabotaging the sales for the later releases. This way all three versions will likely sell in a more balanced fashion so that they don't have one version that's a huge success and another version that's a complete flop.

EA and nintendo team up
for those too lazy, it says that EA and Nintendo are teaming up for games (20 aprently in production, not sure if all 20 will be from this team) for gamecube and gameboy, with EA doing the creative side and non other than Shigeru Miyamoto, providing input on technical game play elements
good news indeed
the link has some other interesting news articles reguarding a new prince of persia to be developed by Ubi Soft, and other assorted info
