GameCube: Potential

[BigJustinW]

My Vote: HELLLLLL NO

It didn't live up to what it could have been, Game quality wise and hardware quality wise.

Take the 4mb Memory cards for example, it didn't help, and it could have been MUCH better.

As far as games:

1) Nintendo should have tried as hard as Microsoft for 3rd parties... it could have had much better support

2) Instead of Shiggy putting a lot of effort into crap like Luigi's Mansion, they could have made Mario (or somthing better) as a launch game.

As it stands, for now, I think Gamecube had a LOT of potential to be an out right better system than Xbox, without any questions... but Nintendo didn't as much as attempt to do that, now in casual gamers head there is a question.

N64 had a 50Million userbase, and Gamecube had a price advantage, if Nintedo would have put more effort in the above areas, there would be no way in hell that XBox would have outsold the Cube last year.

I don't even want to talk about the advertizing campaing, Cube Clubs didn't work, and had no effect on over 99% of the country... They should have used McDonalds or somthing.
