Have the GameCube sold good lifetime in the US?

Imho, I put Game cube sales on "meh, but close to bad", cause you can't just see "the number alone", you need to see the complete picture and the total numbers of the generation, u need to see the console sales within the number of consoles sold within the generation to which he belongs and the market share.

for example, the last generation:

Wii (Wii)
45.37
PlayStation 3 (PS3)
29.11
Xbox 360 (X360)
48.38

the total was around 123 million, a much higher number than the number of "generation SNES / Genesis", for example.

Within this reality, I would rate:

Xbox / Wii > good> 'cause they dominated about 36 ~ 38% of the market.
Ps3> just ok > 'cause Ps3 had only about 24%, about 60% of xbox 360 total sales.

now let's see the generation Dreamcast / Gamecube / PS2 / Xbox

Dreamcast (DC)
3.90
GameCube (GC)
12:55
PlayStation 2
53.65
Xbox (XB)
15.77

That generation had a total number of approximately 85 million, in this picture we would have:

Dreamcast> terrible> failed to have 5% of the market. not even 10% of Ps3 total sales.

G.cube> meh, but close to bad> only 15% of the market, not even 25 % of PS2 sales number.

PS2> Amazing Sales> dominated more than half the market! approximately 63%, it is truly amazing!

xbox> meh, close to bad> only 18%, a little higher thing than gamecube.

note: Sorry for my english.
