Maybe the introduction of the playstation and the popularity of its successor. They where new fresh and exciting and got new customers interested in their systems through their Sony name. I think they also got way more support because of that. Could have just been bad timing for Nintendo
The Playstation 2 is what really did it.It just sold better,just like the DS did with the PSP
I thought the PS2 was a good console,but not compared to the gamecube.The gamecube is my favorite console ever.
