I mean, come on guys. It's a brilliant console. I always hear cows/lemmings whinge about the gaming draft, but I never really noticed this to be honest... not till 2006 anyway. It had so many quality games, what's everybody's problem with it?

I loved my gamecube and the select few great titles it had! Gamecube had two of my three favorite game last gen, Metroid Prime and RE 4! Its a shame that more 3rd party support didn't come, Thank god for Capcom releasing RE's and Viewtiful Joe!

I had a black one but I never did understand why it needed a handle. The Wii looks much more stylish that's for sure.

Well because the N64 was so amazing and the Cube was not... Only good games for it seemed to be first party, and no real 3rd party support. Compared to PS2 and Xbox.

Exactly, noone is denying it had good games, but it had so few and they were spread out so far it felt like it was always in a drought.

The Cube was the only system to have Metroid Prime therefore it qualifies by default as the greatest console ever.

I rank the systems like this
PS2. No matter what you say unless from your own opinion. This was the best peroid. It had the best variety of games and the most.
Cube. I think of this like PS2 Jr. It had some good games and a decent variety. But it just could not keep up
Xbox. Biggest piece of crap of a system I ever owned. Halo 2, Kotor, And NG. That is about all I got out of that system. I only JSRF, Panzeer Dragon, Riddick. But outside of the three I mention. To be honest outside of Kotor and Halo 2. I really did not care for it much at all.

try using that Dual Shock for a First Person Shooter or anyother type of game that requires both sticks in use... PS2 is horrible at shooters, but the GC and Xbox have perfect thumb placements to excel at them

UKNintendoFreak

As big a Playstation fan as I am, I owned a Gamecube as well. My main reason for owning the Gamecube was because Resident Evil went exclusive to it for a while. However I also bought Smash Bros (love that game), all the Zeldas (including TP), Mario Kart and Soul Calibur 2. The reason I didn't play it much was because while it did have some great games... they were few and far between. After Resident Evil 4 came out for it, there was not another title that came out for it that I wanted until Zelda TP. That was almost 2 years of me buying ZERO Gamecube games.

Duh... but that didn't really matter to me. I had the Gamecube since the Christmas it came out so I had all the games I wanted for it.

I loved the GCN and it had alot of great games, also I don't care about droughts because I only buy games 4 times a year anyway so any console I own my console collects dust because I only have enough money to buy games for times a year.

Because it deserves to be hated.  I know that because I had one for four years, and didn't have a PS2 or Xbox.  The thing sucked, plain and simple.  It actually ruined a couple franchises (Star Fox Adventures, Super Mario Sunshine) and every decent game for the system was made by Nintendo and only Nintendo, aside from the Capcom Resident Evil games which eventually went multiplat.

No one hates the Gamecube, it's just the fact that there are too many people who try to make it out to be more than it really was. The Gamecube had some pretty fun games, but the library was a little lacking, always was. There were plenty of people who were content to play Mario Sunshine, Mario Golf, Mario party, Mario Tennis, Mario Soccer, Mario baseball and Metroid Prime with some Animal Crossing and Pikmin thrown in for good measure. Truth is it had so many quality NINTENDO games, and if you weren't into those, well then you were pretty much out of luck. Gamecube did not offer all that needed to be offered to get the fanbase to make it a success. Was it a bad console? Course not. Could it have been much much better? Obviously. Don't let non-fans get you down UKNintendoFreak.

Lack of third party support

Game shortages

Had no DVD playback

Had a lack of more mature games

Again, massive game shortages

Many people thought a lot of Nintendo's franchises weren't up to par with earlier entries, like Super Mario Sunshine, and the Starfox series

These aren't my reasons, these are your average person here's reasons.
