Nintendo tanked the GameCube on purpose to bait Sony into overextending with the bloated PS2 library, setting up the next generation that made them untouchable. Melee, Prime, and RE4 were proof-of-concept. Tiny discs, zero shovelware.

>>12622512(OP) Then why did they make their next console the new "shovelware heaven"?
>>12622683 Gamecube had much more high quality exclusives, the PS2's best games are multi-platform games that run AND looked better on the G.C and/or X-box

>>12622704 there were a couple great ps2 exclusive but you are right. ]people were whipping out gamecubes to play on for a long time after because of the fun couch multiplayer games.

>>12622724 The rule change was forced. Most of the original /vr/ userbase was against it, there's archives of the original thread the day the rule change was announced. It was a total shitfest. One anon even tried to talk to the mods on the IRC channel and all he got was replies like "lol /vr/? Who cares, that's a shitposting board anyway" and then the mods kept ERPing (not making this up, you can actually see the screenshots of thar in the archive). 6th gen will never be retro, no matter how many years pass. A generation where the best selling games are sandbox nig sims will never be truly retro.
>>12622727 The gamecube's entire library is mostly multiplats. The only exclusives worth playing are developed by nintendo themselves or a nintendo subsidiary.

>>12622829 >>12622832 I will concede that Gamecube had the best exclusives but saying that the Gamecube's library is not filled with shovelware, multiplat or not is pure cope. Honestly though games like Killer7 and Resident Evil 4 might as well have been gamecube exclusives with how dogshit the ps2 versions were.

>>12622834 PS2 graphics looked like horseshit compared to what the Xbox and G.C had
The entire shovelware argument is dumb. The most commercially successful system will always have the most shovelware Saying "systems with shovelware are bad" is like saying "commercially successful systems are bad"

>>12622839 The only good games on the PS2 were multi plats that were better experienced elsewhere
>>12622853 ok so lets ignore the fact youre a loser who's never even played an NES game before (the actual best console). lets ignore the fact the ps2 library is shovelware garbage and broken multiplats. we'll ignore the fact the ps1 library is better in every single way. this guy was only 3 years old when the ps2 came out. by the time he could actually play vidya the ps2 was already old hat. zoomers claiming ps2 are just poorfags or LARPers, which makes them losers either way. daily reminder normie trash like gta was never, ever good. in terms of actual game quality ps2 is mogged by the cube AND xbox and no amount of 3rd world cope will change that

The PS2 had more non-shovelware games than the GCN had games total.
Reminder than the GCN stopped getting games even before the Dreamcast.

Did anyone consider growing up instead of console warring? It was boring back in the 90s in the playground...

>>12623351 Funnily enough, console wars are more of a 00s phenomenon (due to internet and forums actually becoming mainstream). Back in the 90s the only console wars were mostly in USA marketing and maybe some tongue-in-cheek drawings of sonic vs mario kids sent to magazines. In the school yard I don't remember any kid bashing any of the new consoles, they wanted to play them all. 6th gen was the first generation with real (online) console wars. Which is why /vr/ lowered so much in quality once 6th gen was allowed. Not that there wasn't console wars before here, but there were less of it, and back in the early /vr/ days (pre-2016) console warriors were mocked and expulsed back to /v/. It was a very different board.
