I don't think Nintendo would ever end up being just a software company, the Wii U will be at least as successful as the GameCube which turned a decent profit for them.

Perhaps next gen Nintendo should focus solely on their next portable device, imagine the sheer volume of quality software that would get published, I mean they've already merged their portable and home console development teams together so I don't see this being such a wacky out their possibility.

Gamecube wasn't profitable, the GBA was.

Check up on your history.  The Gamecube might not have sold huge numbers, but under Satoro Iwata it actually managed to pull a profit.  That was one the things that convinced The owner of Nintendo to hand of controll to him.  His mangement capabilties are top notch.  The GBA on the other hand.......well yeah it made billions.

Plus I don't think they ever sold the GCN at a loss.  Maybe when they knocked it down to 99 but they were still probably making profit off of it.  So if you never sell a console for a loss then how the hell would you lose money on it even if it only sold 22m?
