Unfortunately for the GameCube, it launched rather late and the PS2 really had a foothold. Also DVD playback was seen as a big deal and the GameCube didn't have it..
Another reason was poor third party support and it really didn't have the big system sellers like GTA, Halo, GT or SingStar.. It had many great exclusives but none which took off in the mainstream market.. If it had a really big system seller at launch then this generation would most likely look very different.
