People Need To Stop Putting Nintendo Down

[WCP]

What? The GameCube was one of the few times they were near the top.

Remember the GameCube came a full year after the PS2 was released. It came a few days after the Xbox. The Xbox was the clear power leader for that generation. The GameCube was definitely more powerful than the Dreamcast, but only marginally (if that) more powerful than the PS2 which was already very old tech when the Cube launched. The Cube wasn't ridiculously underpowered like the Wii and Wii U, but it was no technological marvel.
