This. Like the current Wii, it had nearly no Third Party support and another console upstaged it. Unlike the Wii however, it ALSO was slow in pushing out its good first party games for a long time and didn't have any key points (lower price/unique controls/key game) to cause it to sell over the competition.
By the time it had good games and lowered its price halfway through its life cycle, it was already in third place.
In all ways, the GC was comperable to nearly everything in its generation except playing DVDs and online support. But third parties just didn't want to support it in the beginning because the PS2 was deemed the king years before it even came out (see Dreamcast).
Six upcoming games you should look into:
