I'd hesitate to call Gamecube a "failed" system, considering it sold on par with Xbox and was profitable. It was just fashionable to shit on Nintendo at the time. Over the last couple of years, so many of my Gamecube favorites got ports on modern systems and I got most of them. Prime, Tales of Symphonia, Baton Kaitos, Story of Seasons: AWL. |
I'd definitely consider Gamecube unsuccessful.
It continued the decline in Nintendo's market share and mindshare, to the point where they abandoned power-competitive consoles altogether and went in a completely different direction with the Wii.
Do we actually know if it turned a profit? Nintendo themselves during the time did, but how much of that was due to the highly successful GBA?
