Why did the Gamecube fail?

[curl-6]

You kinda had to be there.

It's easy to look back on it now through the lens of nostalgia and wonder why it didn't succeed, but at the time, coming on the heels of the N64 and alongside the Xbox and PS2, Gamecube was basically the definition of "uncool" in everything from the way it looked to the approach many of its core franchises took.

It was a colossal failure to read the room and provide what was seen as appealing and desirable in gaming at the time.
