Why did the Gamecube fail?

I’ll just say PS2 is my favorite console of all time (games, games, games) and Xbox had Halo. I also disagree with many metacritic scores this generation particularly with many games being underrated PS2 exclusives. I can think of dozens of examples off the top of my head, but I don’t want to put a wall of text. This was the generation I played the most games, spent most time playing games, and the only generation I owned every console (along with both sony and nintendo handhelds). I feel strongly that gamecube is overrated, but I know this site has mostly a nintendo fanbase and many view gamecube high in their childhood so I’ll leave it that all three consoles this generation were good so it had the most competition.

I believe Gamecube purely from a library standpoint it is Nintendo's worst console and the worst console of the 6th generation. From a hardware standpoint, PS2 was the worst engineered. Gamecube the best followed by DC and Xbox. Not talking about raw power but in how balanced of a system they were.
