GC's case actually didn't made any sense. It had games(1st and 3rd party), it had the controller, it had the online features, it had even an add-on that played GBA/GBC games and also GBA connection that allowed new gaming possibilities, it was the smallest and most reliable console of that generation and, most importantly for the gaming forums crowd, it had the graphics.

So, what can we conclude from all that? Gaming market makes no sense.


Actually it made sense. Lets have a look at electronics in general. Design is a huge factor when it comes to success. While PS2 wasn't that pretty it looked not like a toy. Now the Gamecube looked totally like a toy. Nintendo learned and all their stuff looks not like a kiddy toy now.

 

I think it was a huge factor in its demise. No DVD and Kiddy Design. People want mature looking stuff even if they run Mario on it.
