Economies of scale, saxon, combined with the fact that Nintendo was selling the GC at a profit (tiny one) from it's inception. X-Box was a loss leader for Microsoft (and may or may not still be). You can drop rates more quickly when you are already making a profit.

Oh, and the fact that it's weak on 3rd-party game sales (everyone tends to discount the stellar 1st-party games), and some weird "kid-only" label it got from the start, it's been the underdog.

I've actually read a number of articles both in gaming magazines and electronics industry magazines that predict the GameCube will be completely extinct within a year. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those articles handy, and none of them were in the past month.
