The gamecube didn't have kiddy software. It was the kiddy image that it had. Once people actually sat down and played some gamecube exclusives they realized how awesome it really was. But everyone else turned to PS2

Thats very true, games like Eternal Darkness, Geist, Resident Evil Zero/REmake/4 and a bunch of multiplats were mature, people just didnt give it a chance

Well that's what happens when you make design/marketing mistakes and just give away the FPS market to the XBox.

The system launches in 2000 in black/silver only with DVD playback (make it optional through remote control add-on to offset the royalty fees) and Perfect Dark and Zelda as launch games, then things like Eternal Darkness and the Resident Evil exclusivity would've paid off big time later on.

Perfect Dark as a launch game could have stolen some of Halos thunder and Majoras Mask at launch would have given fans the muture Zelda everybody expected. In this scenario I could picture Remake and Zero selling more like 2-2.5 million each and RE4 around 3.5-4 million which would have been good enough to keep exclusive
