How did it surpass PS2 in popularity and cultural relevance?

It did?

Gamecube just seems more popular because literally fucking nobody ever talks just about Gamecube games, instead they're always gushing nostalgia over the system itself and the generation as a whole.
Meanwhile if you're gonna talk about Final Fantasy X or Gran Turismo 3 then you're just gonna talk about those games. The fact that you played them on a PS2 is irrelevant. PS2 is just a tool that lets you play games.

He obviously means from a zoomer's perspective ie Gamecube being more relevant today than PS2. It's a little of this >>740255420 but also the fact that the majority of the Gamecube's worthwhile library hasn't been ported to 11 other platforms since the 6th generation ended, so games like Chibi Robo, Rogue Leader, Super Monkey Ball, etc. still have a strong identity with the console even if some of them eventually got ported to a newer platform.
It doesn't help that Sony seems fully committed to erasing their own history as evident by their classics catalog not tagging the games by original console and removing as many identifiers as possible from the digital releases. Tekken 5 is the PSP version, nothing in the store actually tells you this. It's only when it's merchandising time that Sony will start using the PSOne grey tones and offer $70 Parappa beanies.
