If it only played one CD or one DVD, your original statement would still
correctly imply impossibility (if we excuse your punctuation errors).
And if we include all Gamecubes, there are plenty of Gamecubes that do
play DVDs (and I assume CDs, but that may not be the case): the
Panasonic Q. But since you said "your Gamecube", for that to apply Fred
Liken would need to own a Q.

It's provably untrue; it's not stretching the truth, it just plain isn't true.

The Gamecube doesn't play a single game online by a third party; it
plays two different games by a third party in the US, three if you want
to get technical regarding the two different iterations of PSOI&II that
have been released. And Homeland will be coming out in the spring in
Japan. It also plays three LAN games via tunneling software.
You may as well say there is no US PS2 game that supports the trance
vibrator because only Rez and Space Channel 5 part 2 support it.
