Nintendo tried to focus mainly on the core gaming market, and it got them 23 million sales with the gamecube. I don't get what you hardcore want from nintendo.. You got Zelda, 3-D Mario, a sequal to the 3-D Mario, a 2-D Mario, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Punchout, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Battalian Wars, A Wario Game, etc.. All within 3 years of its release.
And what is this business about nintendo not treating 3rd parties well? I've always heard the exact opposite. If anything, it's Sony that treats 3rd parties like crap. Wii is far easier to develop for, not to mention has a far greater userbase. 3rd parties are to blame for lack of 3rd party support, not nintendo, and they avoid a console with a near 50% marketshare at their own risk. I guarentee you, once Wii sales keep cranking and grow to a userbase greater than that of the HD consoles combined.. bottom line is these companies are businesses and businesses go where the money is.
