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 613 Views

I hadn't thought of that! - 08/06/2011 01:46:42 AM 660 Views
Oh, and the other thing - 08/06/2011 02:07:26 AM 659 Views
E3 - Wii U: it's a stupid name. *NM* - 08/06/2011 03:32:53 AM 276 Views
Everyone says Nintendo is stupid for the things they do... - 08/06/2011 03:41:05 AM 622 Views
It could, of course, be the new Gamecube. *NM* - 08/06/2011 11:13:57 AM 290 Views
Which was a fantastic console. *NM* - 08/06/2011 05:29:42 PM 290 Views
And also made Nintendo money. *NM* - 08/06/2011 05:57:45 PM 260 Views
It's still not something Nintendo wants. - 08/06/2011 08:02:01 PM 674 Views

Heh. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it was a bad console. - 09/06/2011 07:24:48 AM 807 Views
What does Nintendo have against processing power? You don't HAVE to cripple yourself! - 09/06/2011 12:55:21 AM 576 Views
It's all about price point - 09/06/2011 01:11:44 AM 618 Views
No. It's not. - 09/06/2011 04:15:14 AM 711 Views
Console wars respond poorly to logic. *NM* - 09/06/2011 04:57:14 AM 275 Views
If I'm wrong I stand corrected - 09/06/2011 05:22:17 AM 598 Views
Nintendo stock fell 5% *NM* - 09/06/2011 02:06:01 AM 290 Views
That's also being affected by disappointing 3DS sales. - 09/06/2011 02:23:55 AM 594 Views
One of the reasons I didn't mention Sony's post-E3 stock drop. - 09/06/2011 09:53:02 PM 557 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 744 Views
I'm ecstatic, actually. - 10/06/2011 04:18:10 PM 551 Views
Still have to buy more controllers, though - 10/06/2011 06:14:10 PM 612 Views
I think it uses Wii remotes with pointer controls. Not sure though. - 10/06/2011 08:39:12 PM 551 Views
