1 - " The Gamecube was the most powerful console at the time, yet it failed." no, the Xbox was, by a large margin.
2 - The GCN had mini 1.4 GB disks while the PS2 & Xbox had full size DVD's holding several times as much data, meaning video, audio, & textures for large games needed to be aggressively compressed resulting in muddy looking ports.
3 - The console looked like Barneys lunch box.
4 - The system had virtually no online, while the Xbox & PS2 had online gaming as a strong selling point.

I love the Gamecube, but to say it was a perfect system for 3rd party games & it only failed to sell well because it had the Nintendo name on it is disingenuous.


No the Xbox was more powerful. You're right on everything else though lol.
