So hey I was thinking about the GameCube [i have a lot of time to daydream at work] and to be honest I don't think this system got nearly enough credit I mean it awesome games it was reliable i loved the control but when I was a teenager I was one of only two gamers who bought one the other 30 or so gamers I knew all had ps2s and xboxs I mean I was lucky enough to own all three systems but why do you think the system never matched the competitions sales?? Do you think the GameCube was a success from a gaming point of view even if it wasn't from a sales point of view.
The Gamcube was my first last gen console. Never owned an Xbox and played on a PS2 with my friends all the time, but I loved my Gamecube. I even still have one, probably should see if it still works. :P
I had all three as well. The Gamecube and those damn mini-discs were the reason for its position in the market. All the other key hardware components were top notch (graphically superior to the xbox and ps2 - played Madden 2003 on all three consoles). Again the sticking point was the mini-discs. Game developers did not like spreading their content accross mitliple discs. Played a Tiger Woods golf game and to alternate between the two discs constantly. Nintendo alleviated this problem for the Wii (I'm sure everyone iswas glad they did).
