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. 

Actually, It was meant to be a cube. The design was dictated with the name, obiously. The problem lied was that they saw the GBC do well with the color purple. But that thinking never works right. Purple is too of a weird coice. The handle aspect was thrown on at the last minute. I took my GC handle off. It actually doesn't need the handle in anway. The handle wraps around the screw posts. Except to grab the device with one hand. When handling systems, people usually grab it in one hand. You can't do that with the GC. Especally when you see it look small. You'll autoamtically try to grab it with one hand.Even with two hands, you're usually forced to just carry from the bottom. Unless you have large hands. Kids and average hands can't grab it right. That's my theory that went on with the GC.

Thinking the purple color was good was dumb. And them throwing the handle on at the last minute caused all the lunchbox kid jokes to ruin its image.
