I'm just wondering why nobody has yet responded to my question...

I guess because I didn't see the point. You're so quick to point the fanboy finger with only the slightest provocation that generally, it's really not worth wasting the minute it takes to respond.

As for comparing the relative failure of the GameCube to the issues Sony's having with the PS3, I think it's a flawed analysis. One could argue that the Gamecube was their favorite system because they really liked the first party games on it. Whereas, I don't see that anybody could plausibly make a similar debate out of the PS3's software at this point. Most of the really great titles were either cross platform to begin with or are being switched to cross platform development at a steady pace.

Sony hasn't failed yet, they've sold enough systems to keep their head afloat until better software hits. The real question is whether or not they will find that killer app that makes the PS3 irresistible to to the general public. I'm not going to pass judgment, Sony has surprised before and I've no doubt they will again; it's just a matter of the degree Sony surprises and entices the public.
