The Wii was insanely profitable. The Cube was not and the original Xbox never sold over 25 million consoles. The original Xbox had investors worrying whether there should be a second version of the console. You should've seen the internet for Nintendo though, they were talking about how Nintendo should just make games like Sega and call it a day back then. Everyone was talking about doom and gloom back then because Nintendo was now going head to head with huge corporations.

I don't think that's true. The Cube didn't sell a ton of units but Nintendo sold a TON of software on that system. The Gamecube was most certainly profitable. I don't have the numbers to show, but I'm sure someone does... Everyone who was talking about gloom and doom for Nintendo then were looking at the weekly Media Create/monthly NPD reports, they couldn't have been looking at Nintendo's financial statements becaue Nintendo was making a SHIT TON of money off the Gamecube.

Im talking about the reception or dare I say public perception on the interwebs, my friend...not the reality. I know Nintendo profitted off the Gamecube. people were responding to the 60/20/20 marketshare stranglehold Sony had. I didnt believe it then and I dont believe it in Sonys case as well.

Ok. But this sentence makes it should like you're saying the complete opposite: "The Wii was insanely profitable. The Cube was not..."

The cube was not insanely profitable. It did very well though. They barely sold roughly a quarter of what the Wii attained in sales.
