I'm pretty sure I've read interviews given by Nintendo execs acknowledging that the Gamecube was a failure, or at least a disappointment. I can't seem to find the sources I was thinking of, though, so I may be making that up. In any case, the Gamecube alienated third party developers and "lost" the console war of its generation. Returning to that sort of scenario after the domination of the Wii would be. . .well, not a disaster exactly, but a pretty solid blow to Nintendo. Even if a net profit was made.

It could, of course, be the new Gamecube. *NM*

It's possible. I'm not saying this is a guarantee, but we've seen how the DS & Wii have printed $$$. *NM*

It's still not something Nintendo wants.

Please. It picked up at the end of its lifespan, but it doesn't come close to XBox or PS2

I owned more games for GC than I have ever owned for any other system

Gamecube was the top of my leaderboard in quantity and quality of titles owned, too. Until the 360.

Same here. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it has the best library of any console I've ever had.

I came across a "fact sheet" earlier today listing most of what's known about the Wii U.

It's all about the games, and we haven't seen those yet. But I have some concerns.

What does Nintendo have against processing power? You don't HAVE to cripple yourself!

Only one Wii U controller per system. That's a big downer, IMO, even if they'd be pricey for 2+

I think it uses Wii remotes with pointer controls. Not sure though.
