It sold poorly because no one wants a purple lunch box sitting under their TV. That was one of many mistakes Nintendo made last gen. Made it so so easy for Sony to put it in people's heads that Gamecube is for kids. Well of course it's for kids. It's a lunch box. Have no idea what Nintendo were thinking.
Another problem was launching like a year after the successor (PS2) to the most successful console ever (PS1). By the time Gamecube came out all third parties were focused on PS2. The result was Gamecube was simply a Nintendo game player plus Resident Evil and Viewtiful Joe.
