I wish someone would make a cube console yet again, it's a simple design with so much potential to look genuinely sleek, Microsoft missed their chance with the XBOX Series S I think. Imagine...

A good console, with peak aesthetics, and one of the most comfortable controllers to hold, even if they dropped the ball with the lack of buttons in it, and the right analog stick, alongside the d-pad, feeling quite small.

It had pretty much the same library as the PS2 in many ways, but with classic Nintendo IPs, so it was superior, right? Well, they could've won it if that was all there is to it, but a lot of good stuff that came out on PS2 never did on Game Cube, the PS2 library is just perfect due to how much stuff there is... there's also the fact it was compatible with PS1, which makes it so its library, already immense, was actually even more diverse, and it made sense for people with a PS1 to just upgrade... also, going for actual DVDs, I don't think the mini DVDs were bad, but the lack of an actual DVD player, which helped the PS2 a lot, was also critical.

It was a stellar console, but made a few mistakes that you can't make against what was probably the rival that already had it all setup for another win.

I really loved the idea they had with the controller, A being your main action button at the center, and the other actions going around it, but the diamond is still better I think.

P.S. I was really disappointed when Microsoft revealed the design for the XBOX Series S and it wasn't a cube, such a simple, yet appealing design, should've been used more often in the industry.
