Nintendo has always been a 5/6 year cycle console company. They have released powerful consoles before (Gamecube) which in my opinion was not a hot seller due to the PS2's DVD playback. And if the rumors are true about Nintendo showing this to western publishers already then you bet they're serious about third party support. I for one can't wait for Nintendos next console and welcome it with open arms. :)

Also, as mentioned before Nintendo is still supporting the DS: bringing Solatorabo to Europe; come on NOA!, the new Kirby DS game, etc. We still have Kirby Wii, Rhythm Heaven Wii, DQ X, Zelda SS and hopefully Lost Story, Xenoblade in the west.

I see Nintendo supporting the Wii all they way up to the release of the Wii's succesor.


DVD playback only worked for the PS2's first year. Killer apps kept it selling from then, and the GC didn't have any.

True. SMG 1/2 alone eclipses Nintendos first party efforts on the GC. In my opinion Wii>SNES>NES>N64>GC.


And in terms of sales, New Super Mario Bros Wii might have been a better killer app than DVD playback had it been on the GC.

One can only dream what could of been had Nintendo released a Mario 2D side scroller for the GC. Speaking of 2D side scroller.... Nintendo where's my 2D Metroid! Pretty please!
