Let's see: They held less than a third of the disc space that DVDs had. The regular DVD was also the standard at the time (PS2 and Xbox), so I bet GCN discs were more pricey to produce for third party publishers.

it really wasnt a big Deal back then, i remember when Doom 3 launched on PC for example it was also on 3 CD Rom Discs to have more space. It was pretty common on PC, Dreamcast and PS1 and later on the Xbox 360

Oh wow. That was one of the most painful videos I have ever watched. From the torture of an intro to the entire gimmick of the channell being a horrible Mister-T impression. WTF is wrong with that guy?

But aside from that, I agree. The industry got everything they wanted with the Gamecube, but the executives have already decided. They don't want Nintendo to lead the industry or make hardware.
