Was Nintendo's recent minor fall a good thing for them?

1. Probably not. Nintendo seems to constantly read incorrectly why they are successful. They will say that a lot of Wiis were bought on Black Friday because people wanted to play Skyward Sword. They also claimed that people originally bought the Wii for Twilight Princess. The truth is that common person bought the Wii for Wii Sports and games like that. Now they are buying it because of the price.

2. Nintendo will continue to go down the path that they did with the Gamecube.  3. They are going to give people what they truly wished that they wanted with the Wii U instead of what they truly want.

1. Do you REALLY think Nintendo doesn't realise that Twilight Princess is only SEVENTEENTH on the list of best sellers for Wii? You think they misinterpreted the market and put Wii Sports in there by accident? 

 

2. The Gamecube was awesome. It was a gamer's dream. Unfortunately most people out there aren't gamers so it didn't sell a shit-load. With the Wii Nintendo CHANGED their approach. Hence the success.

 

3. No. Just no. 

 

Humans are like gold fish. Has everyone already forgot that Nintendo made one hell of an impact with Wii/DS and was even nominated for best run company in the world? Best in the world, and now some average gamers say they know where Nintendo make their faults.

I am glad someone else recognized the GC for what it was. I've added about 300 GC critic review to this site and most of them had strong scores! its strange that it had so many good games and ports , but did not sell that well. i hope Nintendo learned from that as well.

Just don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Alright guys.  If the Gamecube is so great, then would you explain how the worst Mario, Mario Kart, and Zelda were released on it?  Also,  I like Luigi's Mansion, but that mansion should have been much, much bigger. 

I guess that I'm not a gamer.
