BBC: “Japanese game maker Nintendo has postponed the US launch of its
new GameCube console by nearly two weeks to 18 November.

The postponement means that the GameCube will now appear on
the crucial US market 10 days after the rival Xbox console,
produced by Microsoft.

Nintendo denied persistent rumours that technical problems were
behind the delay, insisting that the later launch was a more
appropriate timing.”
