Because addons have
never ever turned a profit for any company in the history of gaming?

Because the Gamecube lets you switch out the RAM with an expansion pack just like the N64. Oh, wait.

...the console doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade to need to make an entirely new console over. Although they did add onto it in other ways such as storage space and wi-fi support, so it seems like their reason for making a seperate console wasn't for hardware power.

Meh, I think I'll wind up buying it because it's cheap as hell. I'm a college student, and I need bang for the buck. And honestly, my PC provides a LOT more functionality than either the 360 or the PS3 will, and I have no interest in Blu-ray or HD-DVD. And the games outside of Oblivion, which I bought for the PC, just don't interest me. *shrug*
Jam it back in, in the dark.
