I mean, the PS2 stole many of the third-parties to exclusivity, but the Gamecube got pretty much as much stuff as the Xbox got - which was comparable to their market share, I suppose. Certainly loads of PS2 stuff I played and enjoyed like Timesplitters 2, SSX 3, Tomb Raider: Legend, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Crash Nitro Kart, The Sims: Bustin' Out, Crazy Taxi etc. came to the Gamecube. All of those were relatively big third-party games. I can get where you're coming from in that stuff like Tekken, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid etc. stayed on the PS2, but equally it didn't come to Xbox either. Sony either moneyhatted those franchises or they chose to stay where the userbase was. I think third parties did put the effort in with the GC, it's just those efforts were never really rewarded because Gamecube owners just bought Nintendo first-party games anyway :P |
Actually, the GC did receive far less 3rd party support than did even the Xbox.
You mention games like Metal Gear Solid, and while GC did receive a port of the first game, Xbox did receive MGS 2. There were also several 3rd party games that the GC did not receive or recieved poor ports. I can list dozens of games the PS2 and Xbox received that the GC did not.
