Granted, but Capcom gambled on the Gamecube, and it didn't pay off as much as they hoped and needed. Mind you I'm hardly blaming the Gamecube (1.5 million copies should be profitable, unless you really screwed up), but if you look at the situation from Capcom's perspective, they bet on Nintendo and came up short. It may not be rational, but it IS understandable why they might feel cautious towards Nintendo for a bit (and why some of the key employees who made that deal are no longer with Capcom, while their current president ascended to his current post).
