My point is that strong hardware isn't most important thing for console, and GC was stronger than PS2 and even was more dev-friendly.

 

The GameCube was salvagable though if you changed a few minor things (like the freaking purple Fisher Price design, added in an option for DVD playback) and launched a year earlier with some better planning, I think it would have been a large success. It wouldn't have beat the PS2, but it likely would have topped the N64 fairly easily and caused the XBox to be dead on arrivial. 

Wii U though, probably would have flopped as the Wii craze itself showed strong signs of fading out by about 2011 anyway. 

There was a black GC that released somewhere around year 2. Nothing could really be done about coming out a year earlier, but yet again, the hardware was much better than PS2. As far as better planning, not really sure what you mean by that.
