I believe that the original Xbox is why the gamecube was a failure, it came out as the "superior" console at and around the same time the gamecube came out. Coming out with inferior hardware in the shadow of the Xbox kind of made the gamecube seem "weak". The PS2 just was in place first and made both suffer the worst for it (superior support from all third parties, etc). But all in all the Xbox really came in and gave the gamecube a rude awakening, first party games are nice, but if you do not have third party support to help ease your patrons during the dry spells......then why buy a cube when you can get the xbox or the King of last generation....the PS2!
