Gamecube was a non event only 21 million Gamecubes sold worldwide in 5 years.
Nintendo Wii has sold over 27 million in like 18 months.
Wii is so much better than Gamecube it plays all the GC games, Wii has online, upgraded graphics in Wii games and plays all Nintendo classic games on VC.

Calling the Gamecube a non event can get you in big trouble. It may not have been a very successful system, but it's still a Nintendo product, therefore you have to praise it. The Gamecube was a gift given to us by our gods.

Your sarcasm is very amusing but I think it is interesting to note that the Nintendo GC, which you call not very successful did make a solid profit for Nintendo in each year of its life. If that is being not very successful how would you characterize a console that has just reached profitability after 2 1/2 years, just in time for a price cut to put it back in the red or a console that has been so spectacularly unprofitable that it even wiped out all of the profits from its predecessor, the fantastically successful by anyone’s definition, PS2 . 

I checked with Miyamoto and the official word from Nintendo is that you can withhold your worshipful praise as long as you continue to send them money.
