Nintendo is far too experimental for me to drop money on their console. They produce one accessory after another (from R.O.B. the robot all the way through the Donkey Konga bongos) which only work for a very small handful of games before becoming obsolete. For several of the more "innovative" GC games, you need a GBA and a link cable to fully enjoy the game (Four Swords, FF: Crystal Chronicles, etc). Yet, the Gamecube has no online capability, unlike the other two systems. In the end, Nintendo is just as money hungry as the other producers, they just get you by making you buy hordes of useless shit in order to enjoy their games rather than gobbling up developing companies.
