>How did it surpass PS2 in popularity?
Because of Melee. It's more played than all PS2 games.

>>712930406 (OP)
Resellers.

[THIS IS WHAT CUBESNOYS ACTUALLY BELIEVE]

by what metric?
the PS2 sold infinitely more

>>712930406 (OP)
Better games.
PS2 just had gay rpg anime shit for lonely weebs.

>>712931235
Yea, because it was a cheap dvd player.

>>712930406 (OP)
It didn't and I loved this shit

>>712931283
>PS2 just had gay rpg anime shit for lonely weebs.
Ah yes, and the Gamecube had intellectual and mature titles such as......................

>>712931347
and thus it was more popular

>the motherfucking Nintendo shitcube
>surpass ps2
>at ANY point in its life or afterlife
L m f a o

It cost $99 nigga

>>712931543
Nintendo didn't constantly add "estimated re-sales of used consoles" to their tally so there is that

>>712931050
+1, faggot
ENJOY YOUR FUCKING UPVOTE

ntoddler cope is wacky as fuck

>>712931402
It had fun titles you could play with friends and siblings you autistic neckbeard.

>>712931402
Eternal Darkness? Resident Evil 4?

>>712931820
but nobody did that
it was just autists playing pikmin and animal crossing alone and then as they got older they played melee with other autists

>>712931235
Any time characters played video games in media from the time, it was always a Gamecube. Never a PS2 or Xbox.

>>712930406 (OP)
It didn't. You're posting on a Nintendo fanboy site.

>>712931820
>gay anime rpg
>le hecking fun titles you can wholesome chungus with your friendungus
Are you retarded on purpose or something?
>>712931918
>two games
>one that's literally available everywhere
Lol.

>>712931918
Eternal Darkness is the scariest N64 game ever made, meaning it wasn't scary and it played like shit
And PS2 got a better version of RE4 like 5 months after the gamecube, which is about how long it would've taken to play the other RE games that were on the PS2 already
You didn't even say REmake, which is the best game on the gamecube, probably because you were too much of a little bitch to play it

>>712932006
I can think of the male lead on So Little Time playing a PS2 and there's a scene on the OC where the two main guys play Samurai Warriors 2 co-op on a PS2
You lost already

>>712931756
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger! :)
I'm still right.

>>712930406 (OP)
It's colorful, it's cute, it's easy to carry around, and it had Nintendo exclusives in a time when those were actually good. Super Mario Sunshine and Smash Bros. My older brother would tell me about Smash Bros and I had no idea what he was talking about but the idea of Pikachu vs. Mario blew my mind.

>>712931283
PS2 had all the multiplats. Gamecube only got dreamcast ports and exclusives. If you didn't like Mario and Zelda, the only games on the system were RE games (most of which were also on playstation).

>>712930406 (OP)
It didn't although the gap here tightens significantly if you look at the US and most other first world countries, Japan excepted. The PS2 is extremely popular in the third world.

>>712932245
>It's colorful, it's cute,
this is why everyone who only had a gamecube ended up trans

>>712931820
I guess it had smash and Mario party. Most of the cool multiplayer games were on Xbox, and the rest were on PS2.

>>712932104
I like the PS2, but come on man, the RE 4 port was way worse than the Gamecube version.

>>712930406 (OP)
it has the best entries for all franchises, neat connectivity, soul design, etc. gen 6 as a whole was the last 100% GOOD generation, everything since has been garbage

What are you talking about? It isn't even more popular now, let alone at the time of release.

>>712932524
No it wasn't, and it had extra shit.
It sold better too.

>>712931347
holy cope

nooo stop the count

>>712930406 (OP)
This joke thread again, lol.

>>712932690
>xbox only slightly better than gamecube
>people talk about it as if it was a serious competitor and defined the industry
What gives?

>>712933283
22 mil is still good numbers, and basically everyone who had an xbox had all the same games and plenty of them were geared toward multiplayer, creating a better environment than the gamecube equivalent where everyone had the same games, but they most were single player autism tests like metroid prime and pikmin

>>712933283
Because "worldwide" is the key phrase there. Microsoft was most relevant in the most relevant part of the world for the gaming industry in the early 2000s, the US market. PS2 selling millions in nowhere towns in south america in 2010 had no impact on the gaming industry at large.

>>712933283
Amerifat bias. They also think the N64 was relevant

>>712934287
except the PS2 was still more relevant in the US than the Xbox

>>712930752
Pretty much.
Crazy how Meleefags alone made the GameCube more relevant than the PS2.

>>712930406 (OP)
It didn't, it's a "cult classic".

>>712931347
Always funny seeing young tendie millennials repeat this lie because they saw it on youtube despite never having bought a DVD player. There was literally no point in time when the PS2 was cheaper than the average DVD player.

>>712934415
Ok, cool? The PS2 also being relevant in the US does not somehow make the X-Box irrelevant. The point is that the sales are not weighed the same. The sales that PS2 had in the US are more important than the sales the PS2 had out of it also.

>>712930406 (OP)
PS2 was only relevant because it played DVDs, nobody played games on it. Even my cousin had a PS2 and she only watched Disney movies on it.

>>712933283
>and defined the industry
everyone did copy halo though

>>712934287
bringing thridies into video games did have an impact though.

>>712930406 (OP)
It's one of the most aesthetic consoles ever

>>712934613
But it still sold better than the Xbox in the US.
Nobody cares about the third world. It's your fault for getting raped mentally by that gif.

Nintendo fans are so loud that they've convinced people the GameCube is orders of magnitude more popular than it really is.

>>712932245
>it's easy to carry around
>a literal awkwardly shaped cube compared to the more slim and easier to fit PS2
You need to grow up.

>>712935194
Yeah it's fucked lol. I love the Gamecube but it was and is nowhere near as popular as the PS2, not even up for debate.

>>712934287
>Microsoft was most relevant in the most relevant part of the world
Okay but PS2 literally sold 10 times more. Globally.
You know.
"Worldwide"?

>>712930406 (OP)
It didn't? The PS2 sold like 150M units and the GC sold 20M.

this is such a fucking werid thread that makes no sense

>>712934287
Holy fuck you're a retard. The PS2 fucking crushed the Xbox in the US. Which is fine, it was Microsoft's first attempt, but you're a retard for suggesting that it was anywhere near close during the 6th gen.

>>712933283
20+ mil for their first console is impressive especially when beating out nintendo that gen

>>712934817
Insane how much a single game defined a company and yet Microsoft treats it like shit and does nothing outside of making sequel slop from it. If they were smart, Halo would be a multi-genre, multimedia franchise by now.

>>712932651
That didn't make up for the compressed fmv cutscenes, compressed audio, and terrible textures. It looks like shit.

>>712933283
Most posters here are American and it was absolutely massive here. Everybody played Halo or wished they had a console that could run it.

>>712935394
You don't seem to be able to read very well. There's absolutely 0 reference to X-Box and PS2 sales being the same in the US in what I said.

Question was, why is the xbox seen as relevant? Answer was because the xbox was popular in the US where and when it mattered most

Where all of you are getting that the xbox was better or more successful than the PS2 from that is beyond me.

>>712935154
>Nobody cares about the third world
Yeah, that's the entire point of my post. The fuck is wrong with you?
