But at the same time, one of the reasons the Gamecube came in with the lowester market share last generation is that Microsoft payed publishers NOT to port some games to the Gamecube (because the X-Box has a higher graphical advantage over the PS2 than it does over the GC)... So you could also argue that had Microsoft not done that, third party support--including some of the more mature games--may have kept the Gamecube afloat longer.
Honestly, I don't really care. I've had just as much fun with my GC as I have with my X-Box over the past five years, but the marketplace tends to lean towards the more mature games.
On an entirely different note, who else thinks THIS GAME would be the perfect Star Wars title to port to the Wii?

I didn't know that Microsoft payed people off to not port to the Gamecube. But I also remember that when the PS2, XBox, and Gamecube was released, most people said that Nintendo was dead and would go the same route as Sega, and be forced out of the hardware market. But Nintendo, by marketing to a different niche than MS or Sony, stayed alive and prospered. They were the only one of the three to make money on the hardware.
Yes, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade would be great on the Wii. That is a fun game.
