Nintendo cared, courted, and publicized how many third parties were onboard with the GameCube. They claimed they learned their lesson. Even got the famous "Capcom 5" exclusive games that eventually became the "Capcom 4" because of poor GameCube sales and then 3/4 of those wound up going to the PS2 because it was such a Juggernaut. With the Xbox being more powerful and the PS2 being more popular and both having better storage (just like with the N64, the GameCube version of games would be missing cutscenes, levels, music, etc), there was just no reason to support the GameCube over the competition. |
Well we have seem the "most support ever for a Nintendo console" every gen as much as "best E3 ever" from MS every year this gen.
Those just seemed like half-assed attempts to me.
