Built to replace the N64, the GameCube is Nintendo's main contender and was launched in Japan in September 2001.
It hit British shelves in May 2002 and sold 1 million in 11 weeks.
The console is cube-shaped and some people say the graphics are even better than the PS2.
At £79 it's the cheapest of the main three consoles.
There's no DVD playback with the current model. Internet gaming is possible but with a separate adaptor.
There's a wireless control pad available too and gamers can connect to the GameBoy Advance.
Nintendo say their strength is the power to connect their portables and consoles together.
