Why did the Gamecube fail???

[Fededx]

I love the Cube, and I think it was the best out of the three consoles last gen... It was almost as good as Xbox in terms of graphics, had one of the best and most comfortable controllers in history (regular and wavebird), 100% GB/GBC/GBA compatibility (with the GBA Player), GBA connectivity (which was awesome but rather expensive), a really low price, it was cool looking, the smallest, almost unbreakable, minimum loading times, difficult to pirate... It was GREAT. I also find it so hard to believe it didn't succeed... And it had the best line of first party games any console ever had, and a ton of great exclusives such as the Resident Evil games, Metal Gear Solid remake, FF Crystal Chronicles, Sega's Sonic, PSO and Skies of Arcadia series, Namco's Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos games, Eternal Darkness from Sillicon Knights, and even the best version of SoulCalibur 2... Outstanding console... A real shame for gamers it failed. It was like a gift to us from Nintendo. Now the Wii is exactly the opposite :(
