The RISC-processors aren't that expensive.
Gamecube was relative powerful console, not very powerful compared to PC:s of that time. GC was designed to be cheap, it had a very simple design throughout the console, its processors had the 180 nanometer manufacturing process, GPU was cut down in clockspeed to cut costs, hardware for DVD was already cheap to manufacture, it didn't have much extra parts etc.
In comparision, PS2 had its CPU and GPU manufactured with 250 nanometer process, Sony paid more for the DVD drive, Emotion Engine has two processor inside etc. Or Xbox, that wasn't properly designed, put together out of PC bulk parts, had a harddrive, and eventually had bad deals about its hardware (Intel gave in with the CPU price, but GPU remained with a bad contract).
