Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

It really cracks me up everytime I see someone post that Nintendo doesn't care for its core audience right after they released the game of the generation.

uncharted 2? O.o.

 sony only had ps2 and some ps1 sales when the gamecube hit.

nintendo had Gameboy color, gameboy advance, gamecube and software sales for all platforms for profits.

and with all that nintendo made almost the same as the ps2.

However, both the PS1 & PS2 were the best-selling systems of all-time with libraries to match (well PS1 was only in home console terms before PS2 beat it).

And Nintendo had much less marketshare in every region though it was about a 60/40% split favoring Sony in Japan.

100 million consoles in the PS1, 120 million consoles in the PS2 (back then—now 140 million).
And they could barely outprofit Nintendo which was most likely propped up by its handhelds?
With that weak marketshare Gamecube had?

Like I said...Gamecube proved that the razor/blades model is flawed.
