Nintendo sold the GameCube at a loss, actually.

Are you sure that's correct, because everything else I've heard said that they made a profit.

The link links to another message board, and the link they have quoted, links to a non-existant article. Not exactly a solid source, there.

Yeah, lol. I'd expect that they wouldn't make a big profit from it because it was only 200$ and was a pretty powerful console for the time it was released.

It was a success. Unless I'm mistaken, Nintendo made profit off of it from the first unit sold.

Don't know what the difference is.

Depends on where you get the weed, but in general cigarettes are more dangerous.

My favorite is the 360 controller. Second favorite is GC. Least favorite is the dualshock by far. Too small, weird analog placement.

It's been 15$ at amazon for about a week if anyone is interested.

[QUOTE="Heirren"] I think the black GameCube is a better looking console than both the ps2 and Xbox.Heirren

I own one, it does look quite handsome at the top of my console shelf.

I kind of like the PS2 slim, but not as much as the black gamecube design. The Xbox was just ugly IMO. Can't get a much less creative or streamlined desgin then that giant black box. They should've just marketed the black version of the GC instead of purple though. My black GC is one of the best looking consoles I own.

That's actually pretty tough. I like Spiderman, and Spiderman 2 for GC a lot. I like Spiderman for N64 a lot. I like the GBC spiderman quite a lot too. Ultimate Spiderman isn't the best of the bunch, but that's a pretty good game too. I'd say Spiderman for N64/PS1/DC is my favorite though.

I'm surprised people are saying the GC did well in this thread. The console not only finished in last place in terms of sales last gen by a very large margin gameguy6700

A large margin? It sold like 2-3 million less then the Xbox.

I wouldn't call it a disaster. The DC and Saturn could be called disasters because they had to end before they were planned too. Not really the same thing for the gamecube. The reason it wasn't as successful as Nintendo's other consoles is probably because it had to compete on even footing against Microsoft and Sony when they had a lot better marketing then Nintendo did.

I don't remember many awesome sonic tracks honestly. There probably were some, but apparently none of them stuck out in my memory.
