Oh damn, I must have a really crap console by my TV - because you said it is. It doesn't simply destroy the other two consoles in terms of amount of quality games at all!
Lets not forget, lots of people think DVD is only for movies. Let them try fitting GTA-VC or San-Andrea's on CD, or even a 1.5Gb GameCube disc. You can see the problem.
Yea, games like "Pikmin" (or however you spell the bloody thing) look nice and fit on GameCube, but which one sells more....

I think that the cube has a number of flaws that have been exposed by the other two systems.
Lack of DVD:
The biggest selling format ever and GC decided not to use it, there has to be a lot of people put off buying it for that reason alone.
No online capability:
Online gaming is gradually becoming more popular and it is obvious that the high speed serial modem does not cut the mustard.
The Games:
It has been more apparent than ever the Nintendo's old favourites are really starting to show their age. Mario Sunshine spent only 1 week at number 1 in the sales chart, donkey kong and pikmin are not big enough sellers. Trouble is kids want games like GTA and Halo.
Capacity:
Lots of games that do come out on cube are cut down versions with lots of features and fmv missing so the game can fit onto the cube pathetic 1.5gig discs (PSP has 1.8gig).
Not cool anymore:
The cube has a real image problem it has tried to appeal to the old market with games like resi but the design and advertising still shout toy.

My gamecube sits proudly.
Under my xbox.

The Gamecube was voted the "sexiest console"
But that handle is so gay.
Like, Hedfix gay.

For a start it looks like a toy, and you really have to point a finger at Nintendo's advertising methods as to why it is'nt appealing to the average gamer, of 24.
But then looking at sales, i dont think it's really appealing to kids either, but then, its not the kids that buy the console, infact its not anyone thats buying the console.
Go into a shop and the gamecube section is extreamely tiny compaired to either of the other consoles, i literally had to hunt it down to get paper mario, after seeing about 200 seemingly crap PS2 back catalog games at knock down proces.
but u r right, the GC has probably the best games i've played in the last 2-3 years at its disposal, its just that no one wants to go anywhere near one for it to deploy them.
