Google around for a bit and you will find that the GameCube has the lowest tie-in ratio among the three consoles (it's something like 7.2 per console which still isn't that bad if you think about it. It's more than enough to make up whatever loss they have on the console).

I always thought Gamecube had I higher Tie-in ratio that at least the PS2, while the PS2 has obviously sold MANY more consoles...
