Well... the Gamecube was the console Nintendo made that followed the leader, and... Nintendo's crowd isn't about doing what everyone else does, simple as that.

Wii Friend Code - 5882 9717 7391 0918 (PM me if you add me), PSN - MaxwellGT2000, XBL - BlkKniteCecil, MaxwellGT2000

Software sales has increased quite a lot on the handheld front since the Game Boy.

Software/Hardware ratios:

Game Boy: 4,22
Game Boy Advance: 4,63
Nintendo DS: 5,94
Nintendo 3DS: 2,65

Home consoles:
NES: 8,08
SNES: 7,72
N64: 6,83
GC: 9,59
Wii: 8,54



The Gamecube was profitable too.

Is GC only for the US? Must be, because I thought its total sales were closer to 55-60 million world wide.


No, those are WW sales. The Gamecube did really bad.

Iconic standards by any measure. no other will ever come close to those numbers.

reflecting on my legendary status as a ninty fan


What about the PS1 and PS2?

well Wii likely close to PS1 if not past it. nothing will likely ever pass PS2. and i still feel PS3's going to reach 125m ww. the thing PS has going for it is longevity. well NES (famicom) was on the market until 2001 i think.



Shame the Gamecube did so badly,very underrated console with some great games..one of my favourite consoles

@ forest spirit

You saying GC sold that much in software with those sales?

Also I cannot believe it! GC seriously was at like 55 million WW.


B_E_L_I_E_V_E!

 

A big portion of those Gamecubes were sold to hardcore fans, and those buy a lot of games, so the software ratio for the Gamecube isn't strange at all!

Nah those are official numbers, it's been low 20s on official reports for years now. It definitely deserved far better.
