Nintendo not going through with Sony was the best thing they ever did, Sony wanted full control over Nintendo which would basically have made Nintendo third party.

Wait, that might have worked out in the end... Hmm.

To answer the question: cartridges for N64, mini DVD's for GameCube, Wii was not powerful enough (didn't have to be HD but better graphics card and more RAM would have helped), Wii U is one giant mistake basically. And above all: any refusal to listen to or cooperate with third party developers.

Imagine if Sony had eventually made Nintendo a first party studio *head explodes*  They would have all the time they wanted and creative freedom as Sony has demonstrated with Polyphony, ND, and Japan Studio

Although I really like the situation as it is right now the thought is interesting. With Nintendo as 1st party developer the PS2 should easily have managed 200 Mio sales. Also, Xbox probably wouldn't be as big as it is now, since the Ninty fans probably would have pushed the PS3 even at a price of 600 Euro. HD Metroid or Zelda short after launch...bye bye Xbox. Not to forget how SSB could look like...SSBUxPSABR, MAKE IT HAPPEN

I wasn't even thinking of how much more power Nintendo's developers would have at their disposal.  Sony would have to treat them right and give them time like I said or people like Miyamoto would just leave, but if the teams stayed together it would be monstrous.
