Heh, there are so many reasons to describe why it failed. Here are a few.
1) PS2 had all of the really fun games. There was no reason to get a Gamecube. I did like the Fire Emblem on the Gamecube. The other games were decent, but skippable.
2) It was like the N64 but worse. N64 already lost to Playstation. And yet even some Nintendo fans were pissed. Like Sunshine and Wind Waker were worse than their N64 counterparts. Personally, I didn't care for either system, but some N64 fans got alienated.
3) Games weren't 2D. Up til this point, the only Nintendo systems I'd liked were the 2D ones: NES and SNES. And of course I was far from alone on this. Nintendo's 2D games were more popular and they didn't make them.
That more or less sums it up.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
