Why did the Gamecube sell so poorly

22 million sales isn't bad. Nintendo always doesn't sell consoles at a loss. Every console is sold at a profit due to using less expensive hardware.

Heck even the Dreamcast had even bigger online than the 'Cube. Nintendo was a generation late to that.

Who made the stupid decision of shutting down 3rd parties and shutting down rare?

Baby controller
Monkeys, luigi being scared, baby zelda, le happy mario vacation, mario kart, tennis, party, 1080, wave race, all function and play the same or worse than on 64, rehashing without taking it to the next level with online. Really bad double dash graphics

Metroid with c stick
No real pokemon, colosseum was ass
Focusing on gba connectivity for the gayest shit like fucking retards. WOOW ON SPLINTER CELL PT GC IT BECOMES... LE MAP! Big fucking reason to get it over spies vs fucking mercs online like ps2/xbox had right there. Not to mention that port and so many others looked worse than the ps2 with its fancy effects.
The gc just stopped getting the third party attention the others had. It was obvious nintendo was losing, and it was not cool at all to own a gc. You said it in a hushed tone. It was not yet cool to announce you were a melee player. It was a secret to uncover that it was really good
