I think it'd be more interesting to think about the GameCube/Dolphin along these terms --
- Nintendo agrees to phase down N64 support earlier, letting the N64 become more of a kids/Pokemon console.
- GameCube launch is moved ahead a year to November 2000 worldwide, deeming it necessary to not give Sony a full year head start. Hardware price is $299.99, same as Playstation 2, but GCN has better hardware and is easier to program for.
- Perfect Dark and Zelda: Majora's Mask are launch titles (moved from the N64) with Conker's Bad Fur Day coming post-launch, joining Dinosaur Planet and Eternal Darkness.
- GameCube is redesigned, still Cube design, but less toy-looking. Sleek silver and jet black only. Plays full size DVDs, purchase a $29.99 dongle and DVD video playback is unlocked, taking away a big advantage from Sony.
- Nintendo allows a moderated online service for those who buy the broadband adapter. Perfect Dark supports online multiplayer.
