Obviously die-hard Nintendo fans will say that so far this is true, but do you really think that the GameCube has lived up to expectations.
I personally feel that it has. I wasn't a big Nintendo fan before I got the GC but Nintendo convinced me that it was the right choice to buy the GC. I did, and am very pleased with it so far. To be honest though, I was having second thoughts just after I purchased it because I thought the titles on offer at launch weren't exactly the best you could choose. Nevertheless the GameCube has never been a major dissapointment to me, or to many fans out there. With many good games already out and many on the way, I feel that the GameCube will still be around for years to come, and I hope that it will challenge the X-Box and PS2 right till the next console war.
What does everyone else think on this matter?

I've got some quality games already, such as Super Mario Sunshine, TimeSplitters 2 and Pikmin, but in the next few months, I think I'll be fairly cash-strapped due to the large number of oncoming GameCube titles that I'm interested in.
Metroid Prime
Super Monkey Ball 2
Mario Kart GC
Mario Golf GC
Mario Tennis GC
Ikaruga
Harvest Moon GC
F-Zero GC
1080: Avalanche
Driver 3
Hitman 2
And many more!
Whoooo!
Harvest Moon should be great too. The PS2 3D incarnation was awful, hopefully they'll return to form, though a GBA version is what I really want.
And with the FreeLoader, there's no-way we'll be able to miss-out on a single one! :D
But I don't know about the console sales, and I don't really care - just as long as I'm able to played the games I want.
£130's a nice initial price for any console though - especially the GameCube.
"GTAVC is da best gaem eva FFS!!!!! I liek to kill peeps wiv da bassbul batt!!"
Or those that type like this:
"Scientists have proven that smokers are 47% cooler than non-smokers".
The trend? Both statements are false.
