It would look far better, I still think they should gtfo... if not the first XBox the Gamecube would sell better (and it deserves those sales, unlike the box), and if it did, we could see a truly different console from Nintendo. Anyway, I would prefer Microsoft not to get in.

Oh please. Gamecube was crap. If nintendo released the xbox it would have sold way more than gamecube. Had microsoft released the gamecube it would have sold nothing.  the only reason gamecube was competitive is because it had Nintendo name on it and nintendo games to sell the console, and it still came in dead last.

Its the only console last gen without DVD player, hard drive and without any sort of online apart form 2-3 games.

First of all, an HDD is good, but wasn't a necessity in the last gen (proof: PS2). Second, consoles are for games, and both the GC and the PS2 do it better (compare lineups). XBox having online play - nice. It's also nice that every game you gan get on it you can get on the PC, making the console a side purchase.

The Gamecube sold because it had loyal fans+good titles that you can't get anywhere else, not because of the "Nintendo" on it.

I still see watching movies on my console as nice, but entirely uneeded. Consoles are for games.
