It wasnt power, the GC was the second most powerful console that gen. It was format, space and marketshare. The GC wasn't using a CD it was a special made Minidisc made by Panasonics because Nintendo was paranoid about piracy. Another thing that hurt the GC with gaining marketshare apparently was that the GC had a industrial design error where the Gamecube's design was considered childish when the games were anything but. People based the product based on the design. I actually liked that Nintendo had mature titles on it for once even if most of the games were third party.
Watch this series..it will give you the whole story up to entrance of the Wii.
