Xbox had an actual niche gaming wise, catering to a "mature" audience and bringing over PC experiences which no other consoles had like open world RPGs and competitive online FPS (essentially the future kings of the software market). Comparably gamecube's niche was simply having Nintendo games. It didn't have better platformers then the PS2, It didn't have better actions games, it didn't have better RPGs, it didn't have better adventure games, it didn't have better fps, it didn't have genres the PS2 didn't have or that the PS2 was lacking in... If theres one thing you could say it did have, it was more quality local multiplayer games (Smash, Mario Kart, mario party), but we've seen how those experiences diminished in importance as time went forward and its not like the PS2 lacked local multiplayer games
To repeat someone else, the Xbox was truly new
