As first party software was about all that was present on those platforms I don't see how you could derive a different outcome. Their output simply wasn't enough in quality or quantity for their system to compete. The Wii didn't have much 3rd party support and yet it beat all of their previous home consoles(just about all of them in total) so I don't think "they didn't have 3rd party support" is really an issue. When they were successful on the NES they actively hindered 3rd party support by only allowing 5 games a year.
I enjoyed many games on the N64 and Gamecube myself. My enjoyment of those games doesn't blind me to the truth.
