Tricky...

I'm going to try and chart this out.

GameCubeBoth PlatformsPlayStation 3
Pros
  • Reasonable Price as early as launch
  • Had a solid library within a few months of release
  • Great build quality
  • Stronger library of Sports, Action-Adventure games
  • Reasonably Powerful Platforms for their time
  • Fair number of new and emerging first party series succeeded
  • Relatively cheap Blu-Ray player for its time
  • Some backwards compatibility, and more last-gen compilations and remasters
  • Got great games more regularly over time
  • Somewhat better 3rd party support, especially with online store
  • Stronger library of RPG's, FPS's, Open World games
Cons
  • Limited by small discs
  • Weaker latter years
  • Had dead end gimmicks midway through their lives (GBA compatibility and Move)
  • Too expensive for half of its lifetime
  • Less than ideal build quality (though not at 360 levels)
  • Took over a year to really get going
Other
  • Form factor is love or hate
  • Strong 3rd party support by Nintendo standards, though still not as good as the PS3's

I have to say the PS3 seems to be a bit better overall



Love and tolerate.
