I'm saying it doesn't compare 2 the consoles nintendo made prior. all the consoles prior were amazing! gamecube was just meh.. which is why I don't give a shit about it.... nor did it even remotely compare 2 the other consoles that were out rivaling at the time like you said, xbox and PS.
every time I was near someone who had a stupid gamecube the question was "wana play mario party?" or "wana play res evil 4?" and my answer always was... "why the fuck am I friends with you?"
N64 was a pimp... soo many amazing games that will forever be remembered.
every other console they did (including N64) made a serious mark in gaming history... game cube... not really.
all the best selling games on game cube were either mario games, or games that had already come out on N64 prior... which is why I give no love 2 the gamecube.
