Before it's release, Nintendo said promised that the GameCube will live up to be the most innovative and fun console, with a classic line-up of games on the way throughout it's first year. They also said that with it's cheap, yet friendly price of £130 on launch, it would challenge Microsoft and Sony's next-gen attempts in the console sales.
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 liked it when I played a demo a few weeks ago.
You Serious about Hitman 2? I would give that game a miss personally...
I love my GameCube. No, seriously. :-D
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!
