Nintendo GameCube

The Nintendo GameCube was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs as its primary storage medium. In contrast with the GameCube’s contemporary competitors, Sony’s PlayStation 2, Sega’s Dreamcast and Microsoft’s Xbox, the GameCube uses mini DVD-based discs instead of full-size DVDs. Partially as a result of this, it does not have the DVD-Video playback functionality of these systems, nor the audio CD playback ability of other consoles that use full-size optical discs.
