In contrast to its competitor, the GameCube uses mini-DVD-based disks instead of full-size DVDs.

This results in lacking of DVD-Video playback functionality. This disc was the software storage medium for GameCube console, and was created by Matsushita.This disc was based on Nintendo’s first non-cartridge method and was chosen as a fact to prevent unauthorized copying seeing that mostly with a single DVD containing access to copy its data is preferred by players which certainly affects its stock-selling.
