| Jumpin said: While I understand the reasoning of SKMBlake, I don’t agree with it. The Gamecube was on par, but not a powerhouse—that crown goes to the Xbox. The Xbox’s CPU and GPU were more powerful, relative to Gamecube, than Gamecube was to PS2. |
Not really on par, I compared the GameCube to the PS2 and Dreamcast because it's known that the PS2 was more powerful than the Dreamcast (Sega admitting before release "the PS2 sounds impressive - on paper"), and the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2 (not a generation leap of course).
It's like N64 being more powerful than the PS1 which was more powerful than the Saturn.
And yes the Xbox was more powerful, but also released after all other consoles. But that was not my point, which was: Nintendo was in the power battle against competitors during GameCube era too, as it was the most powerful console when they launched it.
