GC have sold bad, but have had much multiplatform.


The "kiddie console" stigma and lack of DVD really hurt that platform. 

If NOA had been allowed to design the GameCube instead of the Japanese guys IMO it would have performed better. 

GC console for kiddie?

Lol, ok...

The console was literally designed to look like a lunch box. 

yeah the console was ugly, purple, called GAMECUBE.  I was ridiculed on two different occasions for mentioning that I owned one.  Not a good sign for your brand if you're trying to capture the 'core gamer' crowd.  Yes the system had the best specs at the time but the stigma was there and still is...  I have been a nintendo guy since game and watch, but I have watch Nintendo make lots of missteps.  Instead of capturing the entire market they go entirely for one segment and then throw away a bunch of money in the process.

 

BTW I am not buying any third party titles just to support the system.  been there done that it doesn't do any good.
