again you are wrong, Xbox had more 3rd party support than Gamecube, its not an opinion, its a fact. Gamecube had 600+ games while Xbox had 900+ games.

you honestly have no clue what you are talking about, Gamecube was not more powerful than Xbox, that is another fact.

i didnt bring up Twilight Princess because it released 5 whole years after launch when the console was already dead and had been replaced and the Wii version came out first.

You are right that Gamecube had some great games and did some things right but thats not the point of what were talking about, were talking about why Xbox outsold Gamecube and that is due to the things Microsoft did right and the things Nintendo did wrong.

Like I said before, Nintendo pretty much gave up the shooter crowd by not having a killer app shooter at or around launch casuing alot of the GoldenEye/Perfect Dark crowd to switch to Halo. Microsoft embraced multimedia functions & online features while Nintendo didnt.

And how many of those were huge mainstream games comparitively? It had Halo (which is exactly what I said) at launch and the Microsoft name behind it. 

And you bring up online, but the PS2 didn't have online for most of its gen life and it demolished Xbox.... I can't even think of a major online game for PS2 (bar FF XI). Obviously it was not that important of a function. Heck, Dreamcast had online funtionality. Didn't really help it.

Alot, Star Wars: Battlefront & Battlefront 2, Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, San Andreas, Burnout 3, Burnout Revenge, Knights of the Old Republic, KOTOR 2, Elder Scrolls 3, Doom, Unreal Tournament, Dead or Alive 3, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden 2, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Midnight Club 2, Midnight Club 3, Battlefield, Battlefield 2, Brothers in Arms, Metal Gear Solid 2, Mercenaries, The Warriors, Red Dead Revolver, Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Blood Money. A bunch of 3rd party titles to skip GC and the list goes on.

And actually Playstation 2 had alot of online games
