So three Xbox games get gold, but one of them is Steel Battalion which isn't going to make an impact on Xbox sales anyway.

One of the two Nintendo games that got platinum is a GBA game (Metroid Fusion). That in turn is not going to impact GameCube sales very much.

So in the end, review wise, Xbox and GameCube games are very very close.

By the way, I don't think it was ever said that Retro didn't have talent. However, they were a badly run company. Jeff Spangengberg (the founder) was a con man who wasted a lot of company time taking employees to strip clubs. He and a bunch of other people had to be booted out before Retro could really start work.
