"GAME CUBE= CRAP?"

Gamecube just doesn't provide people with enough of what they want.

People are going away from stuff like Mario now. The market has moved on, and people are now "getting used" to games like GTA-VC, The Getaway, even Quake3 and Halo. This is what many people look for now.

Both the other consoles have DVD (bigger games, and can pay DVD movies). People do want this on a console. It's handy for playing movies, since not everyone has a standalone dvd player, and even in homes with such a machine, the games console may often be kept in a different room, so the dvd capability is still useful. Even if dvd is not for you, since it's so popular, whenever there is a review of consoles, they will always say the Gamecube is not so good because "it aint got DVD".

The Gamecube is some what limited in terms of upgrades. It's 2 high speed serial sockets can't compare with the internal expansion bay of the PS2, or the USB, or FireWire. And Xbox even has a hard disc and broadband already in there.

Nintendo has the wrong image. The appearance of the unit generally is "toy like", and appears to have been designed with younger kids as the target audience.

If indeed Nintendo are/were trying to make the GC appeal to the younger audience, then they got that wrong. Everyone knows by now, that it's the older ones who are more likely to spend the money on products such as this.

You can only laugh at the things some say about the GameCube. It's pitiful. They're obviously trying to justify their purchase of whatever console they own, if they feel the need to throw stupid comments such as these. Jealousy? I think so.

No way are Nintendo giving up, they've survived for over 2 decades now and they are still going strong, even with the money off the GBA and Sp they are doing quite well, well enough to make new consoles and better upgrades of technology.

You're right. The Palystation was originally meant to be an add-on for the SNES.
