The Gamecube had 12 titles at launch which was about double the PS2 and XBOX(US), so I don't think that is an effective argument. Especially when Dreamcast had 22 launch titles.
Gamecube also had 180 Titles launched in 6 months. The reall issue, no one cared.
I think the real element that led to Nintendo's lack of sales would be atributed to them being obviously black balled by retailers and members of the periodical community/news orginizations. I have never seen such a crappy job of game coverage on a major system in all my life. EGM reviewed less than 1% of total Gamecube games. When you went into a game store there was like one shelving unit for Gamecube (Hence the Penny Arcade comic "We are'nt aloud to admit Gamecube exsists, who said the G word?). Market Bias is what hurt nintendo the most. Why this happened I don't know, but I think it's obvious that had it recieved equal treatment with XBOX and PS2 we would have seen an enteirly different story last gen.
