The XBox kind of screwed things up too .... if there was no XBox or it fizzled out quickly like the 3DO and Jaguar did, the GameCube probably sells a more comfortable 40-50 million units.
They would've gotten beat but it would've been more respectable of a gap I think as with Sega out, GameCube would've been the only other alternative to the PS2 and since it was quick to $99-$149.99, it would've been cheap to pick up as a secondary console.
The GameCube still did have some good things going for it, game droughts were not nearly as prevalent as the N64, Resident Evil was exclusive which was a huge get at the time it was like getting the 2nd or 3rd most popular 3rd party IP exclusive.
