The world's largest consumer electronics maker said it plans to launch the product, which combines digital audio visual and video game functions including DVD playback, in the United States some time in the 2002/03 business year. By offering the multi-purpose gadget, Matsushita aims to compete with archrival Sony Corp (news - web sites), whose wildly popularly PlayStation2 (news - web sites) game console that went on sale last year can play DVD movies. Nintendo is to launch the next-generation GameCube console on September 14 in Japan, followed by a U.S. release on November 5. The hybrid machine, packaged in a small silver box, will enable users to play GameCube games on 3.150 inch compact disks, listen to CDs, and watch video CDs and DVDs, Matsushita said. ``Our hybrid digital audio visual product will be superior to PlayStation2,'' said Fumio Otsubo, Matsushita's managing director. He declined to disclose the product's retail price. Matsushita, known for its Panasonic and Technics brand goods, is scheduled to exhibit a prototype of the hybrid game console on May 17 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game industry's annual trade show in Los Angeles. Matsushita and Nintendo had agreed in May 1999 on a comprehensive tie-up for game machines using DVD technology. Matsushita Electric, which developed the game console's disk drives, also said it is set to begin manufacturing 600,000 disc drives and 1.5 million discs per month from June. Shares in Matsushita closed at 2,130 yen, up 2.16 percent, while Nintendo's shares ended up 2.92 percent at 20,450 yen. They both outperformed a 1.58 percent rise in the benchmark Nikkei average - -- Dexter S.

In that press release, you'll see at the very end that Matsushita gave out some numbers on their disc drive and disc production. It raises some very interesting scenarios. here's an article i wrote for tendo box concerning that fact. - ------------ In their announcement confirming plans to release the GameCube/DVD player Fusion hybrid in September this Japan and sometime in 2001/2002 in the United States, the company dropped a crucial hint as to how many GameCubes and GameCube compatible players will be available by November. Matsushita, which developed the GameCube's disk drives said it is set to begin manufacturing 600,000 disc drives and 1.5 million discs per month from June. Let's do the math. If Matsushita start manufacturing 600,000 disc drives starting this June, there would be at most 1.8 million GameCube disc drives by September. Meaning Nintendo could launch with up to 1.8 million GameCubes in Japan. By November, the number of total GameCube drives would be up to 3 million. On the disc side of things, at 1.5 million discs per month, we should expect 7.5 million proprietary GameCube discs by November. That's a lot of games Nintendo is expecting to sell. Unkowns at this point that should be pointed out. The 600,000 disc drive per month given by Matsushita is unclear as to whether it is only GameCube disc drives or whether the figure also include the GameCube/DVD/CD compatible drives. We are conservatively assuming 600,000 drives is the total number of drives produced. Also not known is how many disc drives and discs Matsushita has produced up to June. They may have already been manufacturing these goods at lower quantities for some time. And if they indeed have been doing this, our totals would naturally be much higher. In anycase, even if we assume we're going into the production cycle with ZERO disc drives for GameCubes, the numbers we would get by the end of November would be more than enough to meet initial demand - -- Dexter S.
