Yeah because it had a DVD player and people bought it like crazy just to use that. Just like PS3, I knew people that didn't even game that bought it just to have a blue ray played.

Does anyone buy smartphones to make calls these days? I don't see the problem in using a console as DVD player

There isn't a problem or anything wrong with it. But because the GameCube didn't have a DVD player, it didn't get the advantage that the PS2 (or 3) did by getting casual movie watches to buy their device just for that.
