the shitcube is still the worst console ever made

What is it about the Gamecube that has spics absolutely riled right now? Every day mudhut dwellers are seething over it.

shit games

This was from 2007, the Wii was already out by this point.

PS2 is worshiped in third world countries, like the one you're from.

>no games

I never understood this perception. Gamecube had a lot of exclusives and on top of that still got most third party multiplats.

Any of that generstion's consoles had a lot of games.

gaycube loses everywhere, im afraid.
the only "people" that give a shit about the shitcube are weirdo trannies with a childhood like obsession for speedrunning shitshine and smelee. no one but autists pretend this shit console has any worth

>>719147607
Yeah, but I think a lot of people fail to realize GameCube was still $99 for years before 7th gen.
By comparison the Xbox and PS2 were both between $149-$179 during that time.
They were really trying to move these things, and they just couldn't.

>By comparison the Xbox and PS2 were both between $149-$179 during that time.
There was way more expensive hardware in both of those systems. The Xbox also didn't do much better sales wise because what the people really wanted wasn't just games, it was a game console that could you could play movies on. That's why the 360 and PS3 went the direction they did.

People went wrong. Gamecube had great games, great controller, good hardware. But it flopped and nintendo had to pivot to the dildo two gamecubes ducktaped machine that was also $250 next.

>>719149294
Not him but that's just the truth. PS2 and Xbox were modded massively in the third world, while Gamecube piracy wasn't a thing. It sucks Nintendo gimped the thing by using the small discs, but it's undeniable that it helped prevent piracy. And what's funny is that every nintendo machine since has been pirated to hell.

>>719149884
And despite all of that the PS2 had higher software sales and attachment rate
Nintendo sacrificed two generations for something completely inconsequential

>>719149884
The Gamecube and N64 were designed by Americans, both actually had effective (albeit rather extreme) anti-piracy.

>>719147480 (OP)
WOW. From 49 dollars to 449. America has really fucked itself the past 20 years.

>>719149695
I get all that. All I'm saying is the GameCube couldn't sell even at a really good price point and despite the fact it could prove more performant than the PS2 which dominated the market.
That said, effects looked phenomenal on the PS2. Sometimes I go back and boot up my PS2 just to ogle at the way the fog moves and layers.
The PS1 -> PS2 pipeline was very strong, and like you said the thing played DVDs.
What confuses me more is the Wii mania that followed. In the moment back then it felt obvious that everyone desperately wanted a Wii, but going back to it I find myself weirdly disappointed with the games. Almost exclusively use it to play GameCube.

>$199 in 2001 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $363.00 today
That was the launch price.

>Tfw the PSone (model) outsold both the NGC and Xbox
>>719149950
Piracy took off on the PS2 after the PS3 came out and the price was slashed in third world countries, you can confirm this by simply checking both hardware and software sales and you will realize how after 2007 software sales stagnate compared to hardware.

The PS2 was the height of gaming. The Gamecube was good, but the PS2 was the peak of this medium. Before microtransactions. Before F2P bullshit. Before total westernization. All cylinders were moving at max capacity.

>>719149943
He's right you know.

>PS2 - Xbox - GC
What a gold era to be a gaymer, why is Vidya so shit now
>>719147596
Wasn't the PS2 the easier one to mod for pirated games, I would assume the broke man would go that route

>>719150215
The fuck PS2 games were releasing after 2007? My own PS2 died by then and they removed backwards compatibility from PS3 by then so PS2 was still the most popular console.

>>719151016
Persona 4 came out in 2008, I'm pretty sure

Because it, like all Nintendo consoles, was a step behind the competition in terms of hardware functionality and graphics/performance. The Gamecube was released during a time where online was the new hot topic and it completely lacked that capability until later in its life where it required an awkward external attachment. Even then, all of like two games used it. The Xbox and PS2 were also DVD players which increased their desirability and family room appeal. Nintendo's toe in the water approach to online starting with the Gamecube hamstrung them for years and they're still well behind the competition in that department.

Meanwhile the Wii U has been memory-holed.

Because the XBAWX had Halo and the PS2 had literally everything else on it.
The GameCube had Nintendo shit.

Nintendo's online infrastructure coasted off what they had for PSO on the GCN until MH Rise.

posted it again award

sunshine is worse than sm64
wind waker is worse than oot
it was a subpar console with pathetic third party support and even its flagship titles were downgrades compared to the previous games
it deserved to flop
