 They abandoned the GC because of poor software sales. 

Not all of them.  I still can't figure out how GC didn't get games like Soulcalibur 3, Burnout 3 or Tales of the Abyss?  

I presume you're being ironic, because moneyhatting is such an obvious answer and we know it was well practiced in that gen.

Well, for Soulcalibur that was actually said/gloated about by Sony.  Then karma kicked in and SC3 sold worse than the least selling version of SC2 (Xbox). lolz.

Tales, I dunno, probably. You'd think after Symphonia almost hit a million, they'd want to follow that up.  Burnout definitely wasn't though, I think Criterion just hates Nintendo.  Which is strange, since Burnout 1-2 sold better on GameCube than Xbox...

There's probably more examples (Capcom fighters come to mind, CVS2 sold significantly more on GC than Xbox), but the truth is 3rd parties generally did comparably on GC and Xbox, yet in 2003/2004 nearly all of them decided to drop one platform and continue on with the other...
