Purple was an IN color when the cube came out. It wasn't considered kiddie. I can show you a ton of equipment I had the pleasure of working with when the cube was released and it was all purple. For some reason tech companies liked purple. I blame SGI mostly... Actually a lot of it was Purple and looked very much like the GameCube, just a few more thermal fins and blue lights. The Cube may look kiddie now, but in 2001 the design was what everyone was going after in the tech business.
Yes third party software was a problem on the cube, Microsoft and Sony bought up the rights to publish a lot of games which were heading to the cube. Microsoft had money to throw around and Sony felt threatened by both MS and Nintendo. Sony may have put on a very arrogant face last gen, but for most of the console war they were playing dirty and scared. Last gen played out a lot like Vice City behind the scenes ;)
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
