Why are you making so many gamecube threads

As a serious answer, it lacked killer apps that would attract a non-nintendo audience. N64 has Mario64 Ocarina and Goldeneye that were generally great games and not just good Nintendo games.
The closest thing Nintendo had to this was Metroid prime. By 2003 it was clear it was over. They would never win due to lack of DVD, but they could have had good sales and competed well if they had a killer app.

Halo alone was a killer app that made the xbox sell as much as the gamecube instead of selling like the 3DO or some shit.

Nintendo used to make great games, then they made good Nintendo games specifically, and now they make mediocre Nintendo games specifically. Even Breath of the wild didn't catch the eye of non nintendo fans.

>Releasing a kid friendly console during the "MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE GAMERS" zeitgeist
>That doesn't come with a DVD player
>Which means that a lot of big 3rd party games don't release because they don't want to work around the mini-disc format (1.4GB per disc instead of 4.7GB)
It's that simple

Why do we keep having Gamecube threads like this?

Three things
>Making a console that looks like it's for kids during the 2000s edgy as fuck era
>The disk size that was done to prevent pirating gimped the console's full potential despite it having the best actual specs at the time
>The disk size also meant that it couldn't play DVDs which was a HUGE selling point for the PS2

cubies keep spamming "why was my hecking childhood shitcube so hated" in the hopes that some cubesnoy will write them a fanfic about revisionism and say the shitcube was actually liked, but it never happens because the shitcube was always trash

Nah, that was the Xbox.
Still had better specs than the PS2, though.

The disgusting thing is how even the Wii U outsold the gamecube, it was so much of a failure that even the virtual boy is more remembered and has more games on it
