It would have been nice if Nintendo didn't sell Rare

Guys. Microsoft bought Rare. It was a matter of them having a lot more than Nintendo. Nintendo didn't want them to go. They were their best 3rd party developer at the time. Microsoft bought them as a way to undermine Nintendo. This is well known.

It worked GameCube flopped. A generation on Nintendo Wii has turned it around in a blink of an eye, Wii has bolted ahead of its competition.

I seriously doubt that the Gamecube would have done all that much better with Rare on board, and I also think you should be careful about calling a system a "flop" when it was as profitable as the Gamecube was -- Nintendo made more money in the PS2 era than Sony did (on gaming).

Also, I'm not sure why you included the second sentence.

Uuhhhh. I'd like proof of that statement. Did you mean videos games that included everything?  Like handhelds, video games sales?  Or just talking about profit in concern to consoles only?
