Why didn't you buy a Gamecube for $199, $149, $99?

There weren't any games on the console that interested me.

Then RE4 came along and I was almost considering making a purchase.

However one game alone didn't seem to be worth the price of the console.

I thought this was a very honest answer, and I think we'll see a lot of people finding themselves in this same situation this generation. For instance, I would probably pick up Mass Effect if I owned a 360 - but I don't want the game enough to purchase a whole console for it. Since all three consoles have lots of good games, many people inevitably find themselves sticking with their initial purchase, even if they didn't plan to do so.

I'm not answering your initial question, Rol, because I purchased a Gamecube when it first released.
