I don't think it was, Gamecube was capable of running ps2 ports and with better graphics if the developers put in a slight amount of effort. With N64 it seemed like the game had to be just able made from scratch with different textures and resized polygons. I don't think there was ever any really accurate ps1 to n64 or back port that wasn't changed majorly in graphics. This could also be a disadvantage because this caused n64 to get some pretty unique games that were never ported. So it had a lot more games but you could play most of them on ps2 anyway.

This was a wierd period, people started playing gta and thought they were hardcore or something and the nintendo was just for babies and it wasn't a serious contender. This must be the low point for street creed for nintendo.

Now look where we are, only the poorest cockroach infested house would have a ps2 under their tv while the gamecube is beloved by many for its charms and adorns many a collection.
