Gamecube is not "dead".
Dead no. Dying YES! Your stance that the only reason people are saying it's dead are because they never gave it a chance is very short sighted. The system was poorly marketed since day one and Nintendo dropped the ball several times during it's life cycle. Just take a look at the 2003 E3 press conference. The system was never given a chance by most because it never really did much to warrent one.
You need to open your eyes to the possibility that the system is in the final days of it's life.
Really there has been nothing exclusive to the GC worth buying since august and there really isn't much in the pipe until April. There's nothing wrong with having hope, but sometimes you have to accept the facts.
But why should anyone not expect it to be dying anyways? After all the console cycle is coming to an end and the horse in last place is always the first to suffer.
Regardless this is a debate that was better off dead.
