I recently posted about the Gamecube controller and there was some talk about the console itself. This video came out shortly afterwards and goes over a lot of what was discussed in that thread.
Gotta love this statement from a Nintendo of America person fretting about the Cube's colour before release:

I guess they were right since they were talking about American gamers in the year 2001
The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 in the end, thanks to some late generation quality exclusives, free online multiplayer (lol) and brand reputation from the PS2.
The 360 was better early on when developers didn't know how to use the cell processor in the PS3, it was too expensive and Sony PSN got hacked.
