The GameCube (abbreviated as the 'cube') was Nintendo's followup to the N64. It was released in 2001 in Japan and North America and in 2002 elsewhere. Like the N64, the GameCube was a commercial failure for Nintendo, which saw its market share dwindle to an all-time low as Sony's PS2 outsold it by a ratio of over 6:1 and new competitor Microsoft bested it for the silver medal in the sixth-generation console wars. Common theories for its inability to enthrall the masses include Nintendo's decision to use miniDVDs rather than standard DVDs, the company's continued ineptitude at convincing third-party publishers to support its platforms and its relatively late launch date. In the end, the GameCube only sold 21 million units and was discontinued in 2007. However, it still treated its loyal consumers with quality first-party titles, including a rebooted Metroid franchise and the new Animal Crossing series, and managed to temporarily lure the highly acclaimed Resident Evil 4 away from Sony.
