Congratz, but not much of an accomplishment.
Gamecube sales are really really low and Nintendo handhelds are always extremely successful. I say this coming a long time ago.

Perhaps.

But if the Vita can pass the Dreamcast, it WOULD be a huge accomplishment because of how terrible the Vita is selling.

Think about it. The Vita is getting outsold, by orders of magnitude, by the 3DS.

The Vita is not an appealing system to consumers - for a multitude of reasons. Mostly because of the lack of good games. Why by a system for PS3 ports, ya know..???

Lackluster performance in BF though. Nintendo sure know how to stop momentum don't they? Hopefully a brighter 2013 for the console in the West! anyways congrats on beating the GC, but it really should at least try to pass the GBA.. btw how long did the DS need?

I remember a few years back, (I think around 08) VGC was still tracking the GCN and they reported that the console was still selling like at around 18K units.

Gamecube- Still my favourite console, still play on it to this day, and still picking up games for it when i see them cheap. Congrats to 3DS, it will beat Gameboy advance lifetime numbers, but not so sure about DS though.

Stupid Question: can you say something positive about the VIta? Just for once. I mean, I know I'm not one to talk, but it seems like trashing the Vita is all you do. No offense.

I cannot.

I will never forget this article published on October 22 2011: http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/10/22/the-playstation-vita-is-set-to-succeed

That's right; it's been over a year and I haven't forgotten, nor will I ever.

I remember when they'd track it in Japan. It was selling like 4 consoles a week :P

Ahh the GC is still my favorite Nintendo console!

Unlike the Gamecube, the 3DS has no direct competition.
