gamecube was the lacky of the 3 last gen consoles IMO. PS2 was fabulous and the xbox was wonderful. the gamecube...sigh...lunch box design. also the games weren't exactly the best. gamecube had the worst installment of mario, zelda, and metroid! all the great franchises at their worst. not to say they were bad, just the worst of their kind. wii's good though..wii's real good.
