Why did the Gamecube fail?

1. Gamecube came out a year after the PS2. Following behind your more successful competitor is never a good thing. Imagine if Xbox Series X came out a year after the PS5.

Yeah, I was going to point this out as well.  It released too late.  The PS2 had already sold 10 million consoles by March 2001.  That's 6 months before the Gamecube even released.  Gamecube and XBox were both walking into a meat grinder at that point.
