I could have guessed that Gamecube would win considering most of the people here are in their 20's and thus, Gamecube was their first childhood console.

I'm saddened though that these people couldn't put their bias to bed and realize just how ridiculous that is lol. Gamecube was a fine console, but come on...SNES? N64? I mean, there isn't one single GAME on Gamecube that innovated like OOT and SM64.

Come on Vgchartz...you guys are smarter than this.

@bold Nonsense I am 21 and the first consoles i played were NES and Atari. Gamecube was like my.... 10th console. I voted N64 due to it being the funnest to me.

But the Gamecube is what was popular and happening WHEN your generation were children. That's my point. And obviously, my comment wasn't aimed at you if you picked N64. That console was to 3d gaming what NES was to 2d gaming. 

We were children throughout all of the generations besides the current though.


You have to understand. I was 21 when Gamecube launched and scoured the internet, posting on message boards much like these. NO ONE liked the damn console. It was the butt of every joke. I bought one at launch, and enjoyed it, but you couldn't even bring the thing up online without someone laughing you right off the page. The gaming world was dominated by PS2 and almost everyone was a PS2 fanboy with the occasional Xbox guy thrown in. Gamecube was a joke.

So, how is it that now, all of a sudden, it's a classic console with these amazing games? How can something be a joke when it was on the market and then, for no reason at all, be legendary two generations later?

There's only one explanation. The 6-12 year old demograph that made up the majority of Gamecube owners at the time, grew up, got online, started writing blogs and rewrote history. There's no other excuse because I WAS THERE. I KNOW what actually happened and what happened and what I'm seeing these days doesn't match up at all.
