Looking back at the box art, it was probably the awkward name structure that got me lol. I'm not saying it wasn't impressive, I would've been more than satisfied if I was held at gunpoint to buy a GC at launch.  it just isn't very ideal to strictly demonstrate why the GC was more powerful than the PS2 when you consider the PS2's key killer apps around that time were MGS2, GT3, GTA III, FFX etc. It's like comparing Jumping Flash to Virtua Fighter X to explain why the PS1 was more powerful than the 32X, if that makes sense.

Resident Evil 4 is a different story, but by then the damage had already long been done, and we knew the next gen consoles were on their way. In sentiment, this is happening now with the Wii U. That's all I'm trying to explain.

Thanks for explaining, but all of that is really besides the point. It was never a matter of convincing gamers of the hardware capabilities, but developers. This sidetracked discussion spawned from my comment that there are gamers who list the GC's color as a reason for why third parties didn't want to develop for it.

Well I'd like to think you're civil enough to take that logic with a pinch of salt. But I mean just in the general context of key components Nintendo has lacked since the N64 onwards, and that I now wonder if that's gone on too long for Nintendo to redeem sketchy 3rd party relationships with the next system, even if the system itself does deliver absolutely every indsutry standard and more.
