The Failure Of The GameCube Really Is Where It All Went Wrong

The main issue with the GameCube is that it just wasn't an attractive platform. No one wanted one. When people were saying the Wii U was going to be the GameCube 2, they were right. The Wii U isn't attractive ether.

The N64 is where Nintendo started to go wrong, the cartridges and flimsy controller. The GameCube was just worse, it had nothing special going for it, and it had no special games like Goldeneye, Mario 64, or Ocarina of Time.

Yeah, no GoldenEye type killer app was a giant problem. 

Zelda: Twilight Princess and Resident Evil 4 would come, but way too late in the console cycle (2005 and 2006 respectively) and even then they did not have the multiplayer appeal of GoldenEye. 

By then it was too late.
