It's funny because at the time a lot of people bemoaned the GameCube for having a terrible launch.
No big Mario launch game, nothing to counter Halo, and a post-launch lull that lasted from Jan-April of 2002, was quickly being beaten by both the PS2 and XBox in monthly sales, etc.
It was all "wait for Mario and Zelda and Metroid to come out!" back then, lol. A lot of Nintendo fans were saying the system doesn't really launch until Super Mario Sunshine comes out and can't be judged until then.
