The Gamecube had better core third party support than the Wii has had so far. Almost every major third party multiplatform game of that gen, except for GTA, appeared on Gamecube.

lol.  No, I'm sorry but not even close.

Gamecube did have a port of almost every important third party multiplatform title from last gen.

For starters, It had all the EA Sports games including EA Big titles like the NBA Street series. It had all of the big UBiSoft games like Prince of Persia, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and Beyond Good and Evil. The Wii hasn't even had one Assassin's Creed game this gen or a version of something as big as Batman: Arkham Asylum or MW2. And, almost all the EA Sports titles are trimmed down for Wii.

lol, what?  Where was GTA?  Where was Silent Hill? Street Fighter? Burnout (after 2)? Guitar Hero?  Metal Slug?  Fatal Frame?

Every EA Sports game was also "trimmed down" for GameCube (at least the Wii versions are online).  Wii gets COD, it gets Lego, it gets Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Sonic, Silent Hill, NFS, and plenty of other big brands.  And more importantly, it actually gets a decent amount of exclusives.  GC never got an exclusive near as big as MH3 or DQX.  The biggest GC got was probably REmake... and that was a remake. :/
