Why do you think OG Xbox often viewed as successful and Gamecube as unsuccessful, when they sold almost the same

I don't think this is about numbers. Xbox was the first console from Microsoft, and it had to face the powerful Playstation 2.

Yeah, GameCube too, but it followed a decline from the N64, which had already lost to Playstation. It was the lowest selling Nintendo home console before the Wii U. So I think it was a more noticeable failure.
