I've been reading through a load of issues of N64 Mag and other stuff and my own knmowledge of GameCube to make up a list of GameCubes bad points.

1. It's purple. T.V's are always black or silver. Not a nice combination.

2. The infrared controller without a wire, the one they call Wavebird is great to use, untilyour dog goes and sits right in front of the console!

3. It's too small. What do I fill the gap in my cabinet with?

4. err.....

5. hmmm...

It's all brand recognition. Would the GameBoy Colour had done as well with a totally new name? I think not.

Yes, I know but that's hardly the height of originality as well. Anyway, Sont wanted to keep the name PlayStation to keep the brand recognition. Also, the natio had kind of named it for them.
