Things I didn't like about the Gamecube.

The controller. Gah the controller, maybe i was unfortunate but the first game I played on the GC was Soul Calibur and I quit playing due to the controller. It was awful for a fighting game...But I bought the GC for Paper Mario, and thats still the only game I still own for it. Great game btw.

Besides the controller it was a good system, but it was not in the same league as the PS2. On a hardware scale I believe it was more powerful, but sales alone deemed the GC [and Xbox] to being second rate at best...You cant compete with 150 million PS2's sold vs 30 million GC/Xbox. The AAA devs were going to go to Sony no matter what. And those AAA devs could turn a PS2 game into a gorgeous game despite it being a weaker system...

Considering that, its funny that despite the Wii having so many sales, the AAA devs have their best wares on the PS3 and Xbox 360, go figure that one out.
