You're joking, right? The Gamecube lacked 3rd party support. 

It actually literally didn't. It has a healthy amount of third party support, it even got a port of Metal Gear Solid with features from MGS2. It had all of the EA sports games, it had the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron games, it had many of the early Medal of Honor titles as well as CoD 2, several Tom Clancy games, it had Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur II and the RE games, Timesplitters, Tony Hawk, Balder's Gate, Beyond Good and Evil, Red Faction II, LOTR: The Third Age, Need For Speed, Second Sight, Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos, decent rpgs like Summoner and Lost Kingdom, Pac-Man World 2 & 3, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, X-men Legends, Viewtiful Joe and Killer 7, a lot of Sega support like Sonic, Billy Hatcher, Super Monkey Ball, Phantasy Star Online, Crazy Taxi, etc., as well as the Prince of Persia trilogy, etc. etc. etc.

 

It obviously had plenty. There were only a few big multiplat titles, such as GTA, that GC really didn't get. What it didn't have, were a lot of third party exclusives.

Unfortunately Nintendo themselves dropped the ball with the GameCube. No true successor to Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, or GoldenEye/Perfect Dark. Twilight Princess was obviously way too late. Even Mario Kart was somewhat weak on their part I think, too few tracks.
