Why did the Gamecube do so poorly? (with respect to sales)

[ameratsu]

^ the ps2 absolutely destroyed the other systems software wise in every genre, number of exclusives, and depth of games available in each genre. there were crap games but those hardly defined the system. It is silly to try to marginalize the ps2 like that.

Did you ever walk through the gamecube section in an electronics store in 2004 -2005? It was a sad sight indeed. Ofcourse it had a few gems, but the ps2 had far more to offer everyone, and had a ton of quality titles amidst the shovelware (something the Wii currently struggling to accomplish).
