I believe many people are underestimating the potential earnings that Game Boy Color could generate in Q4. Anyone want to guess what revenue could be generated from the following nine GBC games: WWF WM 2K Rugrats: Time Travelers Bass Masters Classic Toy Story 2 Yoda Stories NHL 2000 Fifa 2000 Tiger Woods PGA Tour Madden NFL 2000 Take into account what Nintendo's Peter Main said Nov. 3rd at the GKM Toy Conference: "For Game Boy, the numbers are nothing short of eye-popping. Game Boy hardware?now virtually all Game Boy color technology?will more than double from last year to between seven and a half and eight million units. In fact, if there's a shortage story from Nintendo during the upcoming holidays, it will probably occur right here?with worldwide demand for Game Boy color swamping the ability of our supplier to manufacture our display screens. Our own projected sell through of close to eight million units in North America could approach nine if supply could meet demand. And Game Boy game sales will also more than double, soaring more than 130% to 28 million cartridges... ... The current numbers are truly amazing. Game Boy year-to-date has recorded US hardware sell through increases of 266% over 1998?and software is up 200%. But if you conclude that the Game Boy color push derives solely from Pok‚mon, you should note that over half of all games sold for Game Boy this year have nothing to do with Pok‚mon." pocket.ign.com When you do your channel checks keep your eyes on these Game Boy titles; these will be a major part of the Q4 surprise imho.
