The author writes an entire article on something they know nothing about.

They also lie when they say the GameCube was a distant third behind Xbox and PS2. GameCube was never a distant thirtheir was fighting with Xbox over a distant 2nd.

In addition, selling the Wii U without the Gamepad (presumably with a Wiimote instead) would be stupider than selling the N64 with an SNES controller instead. It just doesn't work that way considering that the software and OS is dependent on the Gamepad interface.

You make a good point. The Xbox outsold the Gamecube 24 million to 22 million, that's not a distant third.

Those are the consequences of truth through repetition. The general consensus in the video game world is that the Xbox was a success and the GC a failure.

You know as well as I do that the general consensus is BS. The GC was profitable. The Xbox was one of the worst financial disasters in gaming history. What was the final tally on that systems losses? 6 or 7 Billion dollars?
