Actually, if you go back to E3 2004, Nintendo said that they were planning a peripheral for Gamecube that would increase the life expectancy to 'ten years'. What ended up happening, is that they realized not everyone would be able to play the games (they wouldn't all buy the peripheral). In the same speech, Nintendo said they would not make a traditional (solely) graphically enhanced console in the future...obviously they ended up scrapping the add-on philosophy and putting better design, innovative feautres and slightly better graphics into Wii as a successor console to Gamecube.
