You make some good points, but the Resident Evil 4 port looked crappy on the PS2, it is not as sharp as the GC version, and even water bodies look flat on Sony's machine.

The GC was much more capable than the PS2 as a gaming machine, it just didn't have any support. There is no way that the PS2 could run Metroid Prime in the way that the GC did. 

Rogue Squadron 2 was also a magnificent show case of the system's capabilities. Specs don't lie, the GC was the better hardware, even if didnt have the same amount of great games.

As far as graphics go, it's true, Gamecube was superior to the PS2, and you couldn't do games like Roque Squadron II on the PS2 without significant downgrades.

But PS3/360 were far superior graphically to the Wii, yet they were beaten in sales by it. Likewise, systems like the Gameboy, DS, and 3DS all outsold more powerful competitors.

To the average consumer, games matter more than graphics, and in the 6th gen PS2 simply had more games that the average consumer wanted to play than Gamecube did.
