Why did the Gamecube fail?

Heck, I'm a diehard Nintendo fan and I agree Gamecube is overrated.

VGChartz isn't really "mostly Nintendo" though, from polls Sony and Nintendo fanbases are similar in size, maybe 45% Nintendo, 45% Sony, 10% Xbox.

N64 and GameCubes exclusive library make them all time consoles. Nintendo has always been about exclusives and innovation. More gamers wanted variety at the time, as well as CD/DVD playback. Doesn't mean they were failure consoles imo. 

Speaking as a Nintendo fan, I wasn't impressed by Gamecube's exclusive lineup. Yeah, games like Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX were amazing, but there's only a handful of Gamecube games I'd consider must-play classics, whereas most Nintendo systems have way more than that.
