Shush. Let not your plague of truth and reason enter this discourse! *NM* lord-of-shadow Send a noteboard - 08/06/2011 08:49:46 PM
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.

Wii nonsense just about sums up my view of it - 08/06/2011 01:12:51 AM 779 Views

I hadn't thought of that! - 08/06/2011 01:46:42 AM 831 Views
Oh, and the other thing - 08/06/2011 02:07:26 AM 819 Views
E3 - Wii U: it's a stupid name. *NM* - 08/06/2011 03:32:53 AM 367 Views
Everyone says Nintendo is stupid for the things they do... - 08/06/2011 03:41:05 AM 792 Views
It could, of course, be the new Gamecube. *NM* - 08/06/2011 11:13:57 AM 368 Views
Which was a fantastic console. *NM* - 08/06/2011 05:29:42 PM 367 Views
And also made Nintendo money. *NM* - 08/06/2011 05:57:45 PM 330 Views
It's still not something Nintendo wants. - 08/06/2011 08:02:01 PM 837 Views

Heh. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was a bad console. - 09/06/2011 07:24:48 AM 968 Views
What does Nintendo have against processing power? You don't HAVE to cripple yourself! - 09/06/2011 12:55:21 AM 843 Views
It's all about price point - 09/06/2011 01:11:44 AM 797 Views
No. It's not. - 09/06/2011 04:15:14 AM 878 Views
Console wars respond poorly to logic. *NM* - 09/06/2011 04:57:14 AM 351 Views
If I'm wrong I stand corrected - 09/06/2011 05:22:17 AM 760 Views
Nintendo stock fell 5% *NM* - 09/06/2011 02:06:01 AM 370 Views
That's also being affected by disappointing 3DS sales. - 09/06/2011 02:23:55 AM 768 Views
One of the reasons I didn't mention Sony's post-E3 stock drop. - 09/06/2011 09:53:02 PM 716 Views
Only one Wii U controller per system. That's a big downer, IMO, even if they'd be pricey for 2+ - 10/06/2011 04:04:43 PM 926 Views
I'm ecstatic, actually. - 10/06/2011 04:18:10 PM 728 Views
Still have to buy more controllers, though - 10/06/2011 06:14:10 PM 771 Views
I think it uses Wii remotes with pointer controls. Not sure though. - 10/06/2011 08:39:12 PM 726 Views
