| Zeroroute said: Gamecube discs were made like that in an attempt to circumvent piracy (worked for the most part, only certain drives can rip those), but as a downside they could only hold 1 GB compared to the competition's 4-8 GB |
Miyamoto stated in an interview that it was also a deliberate effort to force developers away from making games with realistic graphics.
And it worked--for the Gamecube anyway. The disc sizes and low sales for the Gamecube allowed Sony (and MS to a degree) to get big titles that Nintendo missed out on. So...mission accomplished I guess?
