GameCube was the most powerful console of its gen but sold the least, which is why Nintendo never released a straightforward powerful console again and started making weaker consoles with gimmicks attached

Nah, the og xbox was a bit more capable than the gamecube. The rule of thumb when it came to 3rd party ports of the era was the xbox's version would be on top, with the gamecube's in the middle. The PS2's sometimes were flat out ass depending on the game. (Return to castle wolfenstein. This game supported full campaign co-op and had 16 player online multiplayer for the xbox version. The PS2 version could only support the campaign. No co-op, and no online). There was very few exceptions to that.

To be honest the only one I can remember off the top of my head being in the gamecube's favor was phantasy star online episode 1 and 2. That port was specifically designed for the cube', and so the gamecube version had it's own unique special effects that did not show up on the xbox port of the game, not even in the later PC port with PSO blue burst. (the wavy effect that you could see on telepipes, when you use high level fire spells, and on high level megid).
