The biggest problem of GC was lack of 3rd party support, not the price. Nintendo has had a huge problem with thirds since N64. Hence the fact of all its hardcore consoles failed, except Nes/Snes(which had a lot of 3rds support). This may be a problem to WiiU, if Nintendo expects to attract core gamers to WiiU, it is doing wrong, without most of the biggest 3rd party games this year.


I'd say 3rd party support on GC was pretty decent. 


Nothing compared to PS2 3rd support.

What was missing on GC from 3rd parties that was on PS2?  GTA

Can't really think of any other major 3rd party IPs that weren't on GC.



60% of the third party games (which included iterations of specific third party). Sony had a great portion of them and Microsoft remedied their issue by getting PC developers to port exclusives to them from PC. To count the amount of great third parties Nintendo lacked that the PS2 (let alone the PSX over the N64)had would fill a page. The PS2 era had the most exclusives and the worst insult to injury is that a good percentage of them were gems. Hell, the original Xbox had more third party support than Nintendo, let alone the fact that everyone was biased to it which held its sales below Nintendo.
