Nintendo has released 6 home consoles, and out of those, only two were dominant. Yes, that's right. It may shock the under 21s in here to understand this, but Nintendo has lost just as much as it's won. During the DC/PS2/Xbox and Gamecube era, they were the butt of every joke. From being kiddy, to "it's a purple toy lunch box", no one cared about Gamecube. Even their games, like WW and SMS were not liked (history has been revised by the little kids at the time who are now old enough to voice their opinon online. Believe me, the cartoon Link was mocked and hated).

It was a little weird watching all the kids of the Gamecube era take to the internet, and boast about how unbeatable Nintendo was and how the Wii-U will take names, because they're "Nintendo" and thus, should never be doubted. If you thought that, you were either too young to know better, or don't know your history.


Still trying to understand what the fuck you are talking about...  So the you think the kids that grew up with the GC became cocky about Nintendo?  I'm sorry but if anything it would be my generation that grew up with the NES that would be cocky about Nintendo.  Nintendo was written off the home console industry during the GC era.  Remember most called the Wii Nintendo's last home console system?  If anyone was cocky it would be Sony fans from PS1/PS2 era to PS3 era.  Very few people were calling for a come back for Nintendo when they released the Wii.  Except me
