maybe it was, in part, because the PS2 and Xbox were multi-media machines, while the GameCube only played games

Compared to ps2 and Xbox? One thing relevant for the time period that GameCube didn't have that the other two consoles did was the ability to play DVDs. That's not the entire reason, but it played a fairly big part in some people's decision. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gamecube did not have more smash hits than Xbox and PS2 combined. Technically Xbox was the most powerhouse of the generation and PS2 had the most stellar titles of the generation with Xbox following 2nd.

Playstation and Xbox had a large quantity of a mature content games (guns, blood, gore, sex, etc).
GameCube originally only had a trickle of them...because Nintendo kept the kiddy gloves on too long, yet again. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/flcnpawn.png http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/84543589.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Less third party support (especially the big blockbuster games of the time like Grand Theft Auto), poor marketing (this was the height of Nintendo = Kiddy and they released a console with a handle that made it look like a lunchbox), bad design choices (not paying for DVD playback at a time when it *was* still important for people, using propriety disc format with smaller capacity).
Still, it's got a hell of a library of classics, I never regretted mine - but it had no chance to compete. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nintendo didn't embrace online gaming on the GameCube like Microsoft and Sony did for their consoles. Online multi-player wasn't as common then as it is now, but I remember Nintendo getting a lot shit for it in various gaming magazines. It just put a limit on what kind of stuff could be done on the GameCube that its competitors didn't have.

Coolest looking console by far, but compared to its competitors it had a terrible controller, couldn't play dvds and had no online support.

Biggest thing was that the PS2 kept the success of the PS1 and could play DVDs. N64 was the king of multiplayer, and it's games aged fine for a long time, so people didn't need to upgrade.
There were also the Xbox fans, edgy 12 year olds that thought playing Halo made them mature because of swearing. --- My sister's dog bit a hole in my Super Mario Land cartridge. It still works though - Skye Reynolds 3DS FC: 3239-5612-0115 ... Copied to Clipboard!

The GameCube is a amazing console. It houses most of my favorite games, and was the last hurrah for traditional consoles.
I'm actually surprised to see that the Xbox outsold it by a couple million. It doesn't have the library the GameCube does, but it was the king of multi-plats. --- "All I have is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for anyone!"-Tony Montana ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like the original Xbox was what was overlooked. People remember it for Halo and Halo 2 of course, and some may remember it for Fable and Morrowind, but other than that it was entirely overshadowed by the PS2. GameCube had a similar situation but it stuck out by simply being a Nintendo console and all the caveats that brings.

I loved the gamecube, and whenever I was getting a new game and had a choice between getting the ps2 or gamecube version, I'd always get the gamecube version.
I think the biggest reason it got overlooked was because the ps2 came out a year before the gamecube and xbox, and then when it was released, it got overshadowed by the xbox. I'm not sure why, but I'd guess Microsoft threw a bunch of money into advertising it. I honestly can't think of any hits from the original xbox aside from Halo. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Rhylos posted...I honestly can't think of any hits from the original xbox aside from Halo. Fable was the other big exclusive. There were plenty of others but they were generational one-offs. The games like Morrowind and Counter Strike that would have otherwise stayed PC exclusive are still important to note, especially when computers weren't as common and the Xbox was a mid-range PC sold at a loss. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG ...
