Didn't the original Xbox and Gamecube get price cuts 6 months in?

Price cuts happen all the time to spur sales. It's neither desperation or a joke.

 and would you define xbox and GC succesful produtcs? 

 I would say they were both succesful. XBOX was a first run for Microsoft and managed to gain significant marketshare and while the Gamecube did not sell many units worldwide, it did make Nintendo money. Neither can be compared to SONY's PS2 but they did positive things for each company separately.
