Its not that people aren't picking the Gamecube because it's not selling well. Casual gamers arn't picking the Cube because in most stores the Cube has the smallest display with the smallest selection of games compared to the massive catalogue of the PS2 and the not exactly small catalogue of the Xbox. Presentation does matter, make the Cube section look bigger and more people will view it as a viable purchase. Make it small and insignificant and everyone will think it is a last generation console that has a few units left to get rid of.

Yeah, there are some great games on the Cube, but a few great games just doesn't compare to the copious amounts of games for the other consoles, wether a lot of them are middling to average in game quality doesn't matter, the important factor is that the console looks like it could last for ever.

Making the best console/games doesn't mean much unless you have the popular vote in the form of people prepared to stump up the cash for your products. WhenI was a lad the VCR revolution happened - the two formats were VHS and Betamax. Betamax was the better machine but VHS won the war when it released the longer blank video cassettes first.
